Beaut Light in the Attic comp of Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism & Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980–1988. Black Vinyl edition.
Black Vinyl Edition.
Somewhere Between: Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism & Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980–1988 hovers between two distinct poles within Light In The Attic’s acclaimed Japan Archival Series - Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980–1990 and Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1976–1986. All three albums showcase recordings produced during Japan’s soaring bubble economy of the 1980s, an era in which aesthetic visions and consumerism merged. Music echoed the nation’s prosperity and with financial abundance came the luxury to dream.
Expertly curated by Yosuke Kitazawa and Mark “Frosty” McNeill (dublab), Somewhere Between is a collection of music, much of it released for the first time outside Japan, that is bound more by energetic vibration than shared history, genre or scene. They are the sounds of transition and searching—a celebration of the freedom found in floating.
Note: The track “Days Man” by Yoshio Ojima is only available on the LP and Cassette versions.
