The Hototogisu – Cuckoo Cloudland LP
Edition of 99
De Stijl Records 2000 (?)
 
This was the first release by the Hototogisu, and was touted as being the work of a mysterious Japanese group with ties to the Taj Mahal Travellers, only later did we find out that it was really Matt Bower of Total / Skullflower / Sunroof! / Vibracathedral Orchestral fame. Bower is currently working as the Hototogisu with Marcia Basset of the Double Leopards. The record comes in a plain white jacket, with a textured silk-screened red rice-paper cover. Very nice indeed, probably De Stijl’s best work. This work is obviously quite rare, you are not likely to see this again. Vinyl and rice-paper cover are in the same near-mint condition as when I purchased this new, played only once to record it and lovingly maintained over the years.
