Progressive Electronic music?

Here's the label at RYM, couldn't find the LP --

Hello electronic friends, I'm hoping someone might be able to help with this album!

I recently came across this LP, and I have not been able to find a single Google result for it. It is an LP called `Insect Fantasy', it's on a Japanese label called (I think) Yupiteru. The exciting point for me was noticing that the back cover mentions two side-long pieces (side A: 22:35, side B: 21:09). From what I can tell, I think it's from 1981, so I'm wondering if it might be an electronic/New Age-y kind of title?

The spine mentions `Insect Fantasy by Oze', so that might be a hint about the artist?

I only paid $10, so no problem if it turns out to be rubbish, but I'd just like to know anything about it!

Has anybody heard it before or even have it in their collection?





Sadly I don't actually have a currently working turntable, otherwise I'd just spin the damn thing!

I like the old classics like TD, Can, Kraftwerk and a lot of other Kraut Rock stuff, also Brain Eno, in fact I think David Byrne and Brian Eno's album My Life in a Bush of Ghosts should get a mention.  Got into a bit of dance music in the millennium period but I wouldn't be strictly a House or Techno fan, I'm more coming from the rock end so I like the drum n bass, jungle stuff that Aphex Twin is knocking out but he has made in the past beautiful beatless ambient music as well.

I've already ordered the CD, reviewed it for the Archives ( http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=1505446 ), listened to it many times and LOVED it, my friend!

There's a superb performance from Robert Rich at the same convention, Sam, and it's lit much better, you can clearly see everything he's doing. I wonder if Roach likes the mystery of the shadows?! Probably something like `preferring to let the music speak for itself' etc!

I wish artists like this would release more official live DVD/Blurays, I personally find it hugely fascinating seeing what they're doing, despite the idea that artists like this are kind of tedious to watch on screen.

Yeah, my Roach collection is growing rather fertile! I've got a special CD tower that they slot into, but going by his rate of releases, it will be full within a year!

That Robert Rich performance is sensational, Sam, always loved it. If you haven't heard it already, I highly recommend you look into his recent studio album `Filaments'.

Oh, and I'll be completely honest, I just get rock-hard looking at the vinyl collection that completely surrounds him on all sides in this clip!!

Here's another good one I play a lot from Steve Roach, wish they'd release this performance on a proper CD (unless they have and it simply passed me by?):

Awesome progressive electronic live recorded album by OGRE from UK. Strongly recommended!

The album brings back memories of some of the best moments of TD. The recognition of the single tracks is very high but varies the original theme in every track and gives the familiar a new fresh coat of paint on each piece. Highly recommend and a must-have for any TD- and Berlin School fan.
