Toru Takemitsu - Film Music
Today I get to fill another request. Thanks again to confucius for his suggestion.Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) was perhaps the greatest Japanese composer of all time. His music "wed the western aesthetics of impressionism and expressionism with the eastern aesthetic of meditation and contemplation. The resulting synthesis was an elegant exploration of musical chromatism, with little or no interest for dynamics." (source)
He also wrote many excellent film scores, most famously for Akira Kurosawa. This rare, Japan-only, 6-volume box set compiles some of his best and most popular work for film and is very difficult to find.

Excellent, a great post thanks a lot
all the blood just drained from my face.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
between this and Feldman's #2... I'm in... well not exactly heaven... more like a very interesting and very enjoyable limbo between everything else in the universe... a place where I can concentrate and get loads of creative work done.
thank you so much.
this is indeed amazing, thank you!
after sifting through days of prog rock websites, all i could think about was how great it would be if someone happened to have a big compilation of toru takemitsu film music...
well hot damn.
Thank you immensely

I would like to recommend to you to change your ripping method/software, near the end of 'kaidan' for instance there are a lot of sound glitches.
recommendation: http://exactaudiocopy.de/
in combination with the lame mp3 encoder
Sorry about the glitches. I did not rip this, I got it from another source.
Thanks!
Interesting, here there they talk about 7(!) CDs:
