Share
Some records don’t just play music—they tell stories in color. The Rainbow Goblins by Masayoshi Takanaka is one such record. Released in 1981 and based on the picture book by Italian author Ul de Rico, this concept album is a psychedelic fusion odyssey where narrative, jazz-funk, and dreamlike visuals all collide.
🎨 A Sonic Fairy Tale
The album follows the journey of seven rainbow-colored goblins who steal colors from the world. Each track reflects a different stage in their tale—lush guitar solos, bright synth layers, and impeccable grooves craft a vivid fantasy.
Takanaka’s guitar work is at its peak here, flowing between jazz, rock, and fusion with cosmic precision.
