Description
Scheduled for release on 10/2!
A miracle reissue of a masterpiece in Japanese 80s New Age/ambient music! Spiritual and fantastical paradise sounds woven with an original arrangement of synthesizers, flute, oboe, guitar, percussion, and other live instruments!
After a career in classical music as a flutist, composer, and arranger starting in 1982, and working as a studio musician and tour support member in London from 1985 to 1987 as a flute and synthesizer/keyboard player, Yuko Matsuzaki gained high acclaim abroad without ever passing through the Japanese music scene. Now, the ultra-rare 1985 limited-edition LP release of 100 copies, "Raden no Hako" (Mother-of-Pearl Box), is set for reissue! The spiritual and fantastical sound, imbued with Japanese sensibilities throughout, led Simon Jeffs of Penguin Cafe Orchestra to hear this work, which in turn led to the participation of German electronic musician and pianist Low-Relief, also known for his work with Cluster and Harmonia, on "Pink, Blue and Amber". Born right here in Japan, this world-standard masterpiece saw its global reach expand during the late 1980s ambient music boom, coinciding with the rise of house and techno!
