Our pick is "Kathmandu" (sample1), a Balearic boogie cut that eases in on nimble Latin percussion and a funky bassline before layering on a wide array of instruments including acoustic guitar and flute. Then there's "Invisible Sun," unfolding with flamenco-tinged melodies, vocal harmonies and a laid-back beat brimming with melancholy. The wistful acoustic guitar and thick, sticky disco groove give off an almost intoxicating sheen. Perfect for home listening, and just as effective on the floor. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
