A new frontier for Wada Shigefumi, also known as AYASHIGE, vocalist of Wrench. His first solo album "Osmosis" has finally been released. It comes courtesy of Tokyo underground imprint WORD IS OUT!, known here at the shop for the long-selling debut album "Dub Will In Coming" by SUPERDUMB — the Tokyo hardcore-punk dark-side-of-reggae & dub band — as well as releases by Ackky and Chaos Jockey. Five tracks on the Dayside, five on the Nightside; day and night, each side unfolds imaginary expanses of deep, delicate, supple and abstract electronic soundscapes and grooves, spun out slowly and deliberately in nonstop storytelling. Meditation and awakening. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
