柳田ヒロ

Japanese keyboardist; per the review his musical career began at the end of the 1960s with the band April Fool. Known for keyboard-centered recordings such as Hirocosmos and Milk Time.

Review describes Hirocosmos as a keyboard-centered mix of jazz and rock with electric piano, synthesizers, powerful bass, raw guitars and tribal percussion; the reviewer links the work stylistically to late-'60s/early-'70s progressive developments.

Review highlights Hirocosmos as a keyboard-centered mix of jazz and rock with synth flourishes and tribal percussion. The reviewer traces roots to late-'60s activity and mentions the band April Fool. Overall an admiring, exploratory take on a lesser-known Japanese prog record.
