P-Model/Susumu Hirasawa appriciation station

in a DJ set I played "Nice Nice Very Nice" and some people thought that was Fripp as well. I do think he might be a lapsed progressive rock dork - P-Model did evolve out of a prog band, after all - if you look for them you can find all sorts of King Crimson/Mike Oldfield influences on his albums. parts of the latest one even sound like Yes to me.

it has been awesome seeing his actual albums start to get attention. always found it a bit frustrating how much praise there was for Paprika and the Berserk stuff...reading some of those reviews all I could think was "an actual Hirasawa LP would take your head off"
