Charlemagne Palestine is probably the most legendary among the great masters of the American Minimal Music. Apart from the creations of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass, Charlemagne Palestine, after a first phase of intense research to define his musical language, preferred to dedicate his creativity in the visual arts field. This choice sadly cut him out of the musical world for years. Today, his music consists of long tracks per solo piano. Compositions are deeply strong and intense, the acoustic sound of the piano, thanks to a hypnotical technique, becomes the sound of an entire Orchestra full of harmonics.

"Fujiya and Miyagi have earned much attention following the release of their debut album, a unique blend of electronic mastery and a deep pop sensibility keeping them in good stead for underground mass appeal. The imagined, illicit love between a Japanese hi-tech turntable company and the Karate Kid's bearded maharishi begets the misleadingly tropical moniker of Brighton's marvellous Fujiya and Miyagi : Proceeding with a distinctly Krautish feel, the production insert intricacies and synths with a wash of micro-electroid ideas that Fujiya and Miyagi have become so perfect at constructing."
