Minoru 'Hoodoo' Fushimi's most wanted and impossible to find first album 'Thanatos of Funk' is finally reissued for the first time ever, in collaboration with Fushimi himself. 'Thanatos of Funk' is a milestone in Japan's underground music and electro funk/early hip hop history. Entirely self-produced, designed and distributed in 1985 by Fushimi, a high-school teacher by day and music experimenter by night, Thanatos Of Funk is a love-letter to counter-culture, DIY, drum machines and synthesizers blended with some killer shamisen and guitar playing. This is truly unique music. The LP, re-mastered and cut at the Timmion Cutting Lab, comes with the original hand-written comic by Fushimi, with English translations. Essential!Tracklisting:A1.
