barabara sounds sez:Fine flowing modal music from Mine and his crew (a crack team of the usual j-jazz suspects) from back in '74. This was one of Mine's first outings after switching from alto to tenor and definitely one of his best ever. Also one of the first albums on the very righteous East Wind label. The stately lyrical second track (by Kikuchi) is a standout here, sandwiched between the two high-power numbers penned by Mine.
The concept for the cover art is questionable (red gloop as a representation of chaos? Or maybe the art director used this image because s/he was clean out of chaos?). But when it comes to the music, there's nothing lacking here whatsoever! [ripped from the CD reissue]
personnel:
Mine Kohsuke tenor sax; Kikuchi Masabumi piano; Okada Tsutomu bass; Hino Motohiko drums
tracks:
Recollection; Little Abi; Cross Wind

i heard his "Sunshower" some time ago, not so good as i supposed, but "Daguri" is just great, and i guess this one is closer to "Daguri" sound, isn't it? anyway, it would be great if there is a chance of a reupload of this album!
Igor
Just as good as Daguri, in my book!
Here you go, Igor:

hey phil, and thanks for the enthusiasm!
I do have Mine's first album somewhere — but the rip is not mine (pun intended).
If I can track it down it I'll post it.
A bit busy at the moment but I'll get to it soon...

OK, here we go: TBM-1, the "Mine" album...
This was a rip from Pharaoh's Dance back in the day: big up Vesper!
