DESCRIPTION

Japanese crossover and fusion are hot again now. As either an outgrowth of, or a spin-off phenomenon from, the global reappraisal of city pop, Japanese fusion has been rapidly rising since around last year.

Widely known as a support member for YMO and also popular on the overseas club music scene through Colored Music, her cutting-edge dance-pop unit with Atsuo Fujimoto, keyboardist, composer, and vocalist Ichiko Hashimoto released this, her second solo work, in 1985.

Released on DOMO, the label headed by Kazumi Watanabe, and naturally produced by Kazumi Watanabe himself, who also plays guitar on the album.

A truly crossover work of remarkable freedom, moving across fusion, techno, piano pieces, danceable music, classical, Japanesque sounds, bossa nova, ambient, and more. Her fleeting singing voice is wonderful as well.

(Original release: 1985)

Remastering and cutting: Katsutoshi Kitamura (Mixer's Labo)
