J.A. Seazer
Click to viewA friend of mine put this YouTube link of J.A. Seazer up on Facebook the other day. I wanted to share it, and find a little more info about him to post here, and happened to find that Mutant Sounds uploaded seven of his LPs back in 2007 (the Rapidshare links still work). The above song is from his soundtrack to the 1974 film "Denen Ni Shisu" - AKA 田園に死す or Death in the Countryside / To Die in the Countryside. Great buildup to an intense ending in this song. You can watch a trailer to the very bizarre Denen Ni Shisu here.
