Digitally remastered from original tapes in cooperation with the artist. After their famed Haruomi Hosono-produced 1983 release Danzindan-Pojidon, the duo became involved in the budding environmental music business that was taking shape in Tokyo during the development boom of the asset bubble – working directly with figures like Hiroshi Yoshimura and Takashi Sekiguchi. This collection expands upon their sound heard on Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990 to illuminate material that is even lesser known outside of Japan – some of it presented publicly for the first time.
