I have Yasuaki's "Latin" which is a lot of fun, but I don't know the Secret Squirrel ep. "Latin" is very playful, sounds a bit like mid-80's YMO doing a Lisa Carbon shtick without Uwe's programming and not nearly as fluid. Certainly not typical IDM fare, but a nice spin for a whimsical mood. Where'd you find that list of Shimizu's other material?

After listening to it several times i decided to see if the Saxophonettes/Yasu Shimizu have released anything else. I've since read that they've released a ton of stuff dating back 1978 ranging in styles from orchestrated soundtrack material to kenny g-ish sax music, to some interesting ethno-electronica but i've not heard any of those other releases. Does anybody have any suggestions for Saxophonettes/Yasu Shimizu material that sounds like the Secret Squirrel ep?
