Description
The masterpiece of Japanese jazz maestro Yuji Ono returns to analog after 50 years!
Directed by Kon Ichikawa, the 1976 mystery film "The Clan of the Inugami" is based on a novel by Seishi Yokomizo. Its dark, stylized world is defined musically by Yuji Ono's soundtrack. Rooted in jazz and progressive rock, the work masterfully expresses the madness and sorrow of the story through the tension of its harmonies and rhythms. While fulfilling the true role of film music by stirring the hearts of viewers, it is also a masterpiece of overwhelming perfection that stands on its own as a musical work, independent of the film. An important work in the history of Japanese film music is released on analog again after 50 years.
