Made to accompany a local showing of Shogun Assassin, small professor’s i had to be a samurai in the past takes great inspiration from the film and the wider film genre. The producer made most of the album two weeks before his accompanying live set and they’re full of foreboding melodies, shogun grunts, and samurai sword swipes. The beats are relatively short, with the longest being 2 minutes; just enough time to unsheathe your weapon and slay your enemies (if you’re a half-decent warrior).
