Take this opportunity to savor once again how the music and concepts gradually flowed, growing ever more unique and rich, toward Urban Volcano Sounds' debut album "blue hours." After passing through the avant-pop unit Hi-Speed and the sampling-pop unit Deavid Soul, then several years of silence, the colorful breakbeat duo Deavid Soul launched their own label TWILIGHT TONE and restarted as RICH & FAMOUS — this is their album released in 2014. Fifteen tracks in all, including of course the songs from the four 7-inches issued in a furious rush after their 11-year hiatus, plus new songs and alternate versions such as remixes. Hiroshi Sato (Koncos) and KEN KEN (KEN2D SPECIAL) add color with vocals and trombone. Truly stepping across the borders of nationality, genre, beat and groove, these deeply resourceful talents have built an original, assured, and bewitching twilight breakbeat pop album that only they could make. Colorful and poppy, yet somehow tinged with an adult melancholy — a masterpiece. If you loved UVS and haven't heard this album, don't miss this chance. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
