[1985] Akio Niitsu (新津章夫) – Winter Wonderland (Synth/New Age/Holiday) [Full MIni-Album]

Give your Christmas/holiday music playlist a crystalline sheen with leftfield guitarist/musician Akio Niitsu's own take at one—all in a compact, mini-album package. Sparkling, bright synth layers all put down one by one by himself gave White Christmas, Bach's Italian Concerto, and three original compositions of his a special feeling of realer than real with a hint of melancholy. This was also Akio Niitsu last release during his lifetime, before his passing in 2002 at just 49 years old.
