Land of the Rising Ska, The Best of Japanese Ska (Moon Ska Records 1997) - Proving that music truly is the international language, Land of the Rising Ska features tracks from a dozen Japanese ska bands.
I don't pretend to know anything about the Japanese ska scene, or whether bands such asSnail Ramp, Cokehead Hipsters, or Duck Missile are well-known in their homeland.
But their music translates well, as they have fully embraced the Western horned-based ska idiom. In particular, "Lion Bite" by the Determinations is a catchy track. If you're looking to expand your ska horizons, set your sights on the Orient with Land of the Rising Ska.
