Mint Jams (1982)

Casiopea recorded this Japanese fusion landmark live in 1982, then took the crowd noise out, leaving a record of startling precision and buoyant energy. Issei Noro's bright guitar melodies, Tetsuo Sakurai's popping slap bass and Akira Jimbo's crisp drumming lock together with razor-sharp cohesion; Domino Line is the track to start with.
