Their music blends funk, jazz, rock, and technical virtuosity, often delivered with a clean, upbeat, almost futuristic sheen. Casiopea built a loyal international following through tightly arranged compositions and electrifying live performances. Over decades, with lineup changes and evolving production styles, they’ve remained a benchmark for musicians who admire precision, groove, and melodic sophistication in instrumental music.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"casiopea","title":"Casiopea - Eyes of the Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEyes of the Mind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1981\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlfa #ALR-28016, Japanese pressing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x LP,  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most popular Jazz Fusion bands to come out of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal retro Jazz keyboard sounds to inspire your creative talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper nice pristine record, quiet and great sounding.
