RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Following reissues for Rush Hour & Studio Mule, Sound Of Vast present 'A Love From Tokyo 1991-2003,' a collection of work from Japanese artist, Hiroshi Matsui.
The album features ten tracks produced between 1991 and 2003, and includes material reissued for the first time and previously unreleased treasures from his own 'WANT YOU! Records'.
The album opens with two first-time reissues, an emotional piano house anthem, 'Crazy Love,' which appeared on the CD mini-album 'Call You Back,' released in 1991 on Japanese major label 'Alfa Music', and the breakbeat house banger 'Call You Back”. The opening track soon makes you realize that Hiroshi’s music is timeless. “Little Bit Of Our Love' (1993) and “Super Love” (2003), featuring Japanese vocalist Suzi Kim, who also appears in '(Earth In) Blue' (1999), resemble that euphoria of the first golden age of House music in the 1990s. While 'Love Luv Rendez-vous' (1994) and 'Dancing On Mars' (2003) are direct descendants of the sounds of early Chicago House music. The bustling arrangement of the anthem track “Samba De Howa Howa' (1992) and jacking acid house track 'Tsun-Ban-Tsun-Yeah' will drive even the modern-day floor to its peak. The album concludes with the long-awaited, previously unreleased 'Love Me One More Time' (produced in 1993).
Professionally Hiroshi Matsui is a 'career musician' who has written and arranged countless commercial music/songs/pop songs since 1986. The tracks in this album are pure dance music that was independently produced and released spontaneously in parallel with his day job. Underground house fans are familiar that 'Howa,' licensed to [King Street], appeared on 'Sounds Of Far East Dance Music - Compilation Vol 1' (1993), along with Soichi Terada's 'Sun Shower' and other tracks. His excellent works became highly sought after in the second-hand market. Alongside the reissues mentioned above and 'ハウス (House) Once Upon A Time In Japan...' (2015), produced by Brawther & Alixkun, his tracks are starting to be revived on modern dancefloors.
The tracks on the compilation are heavily influenced by US House music from the same period, and also display Hiroshi’s distinct melodic sense and compositional ability composer/arranger that he developed through his musical career. It seems as if we have heard it somewhere before, but at the same time, it also sounds completely new. In other words, his work invites you to a unique musical experience, as if looking back on a parallel past, and it is through this experience that we may find LOVE - the theme of his work.

I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.

Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.

The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!

Great shop, I can only recommend it.

I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.

honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!

Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.

Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
