If you live far from the shores of Japan, then getting your hands on any of
Meiko Kaji's albums can entail paying up to three, or even four, times what you'd normally fork out for a CD. That's wallet-pain, right there. However, if a 'Best of' compilation will suffice, then
Zenkyoku Shu (or
Zenkyokushu) will fit the bill nicely. It has her most famous works; i.e. the themes to the
Lady Snowblood and the
Sasori (Scorpion) films, both of which you'll find linked below. The remainder of the tracks float on similar musical waters, so if those two appeal to your secret sensual side, or your inner-samurai, then start saving your pennies.
Songs of Note:
Urami Bushi;
Shura no Hana
4 flowers of carnage out of 5
