The first full-length release from Tokyo's Of Tropique is a marvellous album full of wonderful and eclectic tropical-infused instrumental tunes. Teppei Kondo's spirited vintage clarinet often takes centerstage, propelled by a pulsating rhythm section that includes guest spots from guitarist Rolando Bruno and percussionist Mutsumi Kobayashi, known from Japan's premier neo-Cumbia group Minyo Crusaders. The sound of the album is impossible to describe in words. It is lovely throughout and has a playful, exotic vibe that echoes old cartoon and spaghetti Western soundtracks with a particular Afro-Caribbean flair. 'Buster Goes West' is a fearless album filled with lots of turns and twists and a special magic like an imagined voyage through tropical islands where each shoreline reveals a zany new discovery that will leave you wonderstruck. The LP comes in a clear resealable poly bag with an obi strip.
