Description
Formed in 1985 by three of Japan's leading musicians, Hiroyuki Nanba, Eiji Kawamura, and Toshiro Imaizumi, the supergroup "ATLAS".
Following "Halley's Comet" (1985) and "EXCURSION" (1986), their highly acclaimed third album "BREEZE", released in 1987, has been selected for a color vinyl reissue approximately 40 years after its release, amid the resurgence of 1980s city pop. Still highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad, this album features 10 excellent tracks of top-quality fusion, tropical, new age, and electric boogie.
The artwork faithfully reproduces the original pressing as much as possible, and the discs have been produced on color vinyl for the first time, making this a highly anticipated special reissue!
BREEZE / ATLAS
The midsummer sea and a fleeting moment of tranquility. A pleasant summer breeze courses through your heated body.
A soothing third album showcasing the mature ATLAS sound.
(Original release: May 21, 1987)
