The Far East is a region of the globe I have yet to travel to, but its quintessential uniqueness is captured perfectly by the artist known as Monster Taxi, manifesting in music a trip to the lands of mists and ancient history, this though does give me a wonderful opportunity to travel vicariously through the medium of music with the artist.

The musical narrative is imbedded with an eastern motif from the start, reminding one of Vangelis and the album China, both releases have that dedicated mood of the subject matter, here Monster Taxi creates a lush landscape with which to disappear into, as a willing participant of a glorious instrumental offering.

A Japanese onsen is a natural hot spring bath, deeply rooted in Japanese culture and tradition. It refers both to the geothermally heated spring itself and the bathing facilities built around it, this certainly sounds like my sort of thing, so more incentive to travel perhaps.

Japanese Onsen by Monster Taxi is another classy single from the artist that brought us Pacifica earlier on this year, and with ease should pacify the demands of the fans of chillout music, and those general globally fused palates, the keyboards structures and the all-encompassing percussive vibrations, should create another big hit for Japanese Onsen by Monster Taxi, with utter ease.
