Following the reissue of "Danzindan-Pojidon," the 1983 debut album by Inoyamaland — pioneers of Japanese ambient and one of the defining acts of the dawn of Japan's kankyo ongaku (environmental music), a scene now enjoying a worldwide reappraisal and whose releases Haruomi Hosono was also involved with — comes the long-awaited reissue of their gentle 1997 sophomore masterpiece "Inoyamaland," long out of print and now finally back with remastered sound plus bonus tracks.

This is Inoyamaland's second album, released in 1997 — fourteen years after "DANZINDAN-POJIDON," hailed worldwide as a legendary classic of Japanese ambient and environmental music — on Crescent, the label of the environmental music production company SPD (Sound Process Design), home to Satoshi Ashikawa, Hiroshi Yoshimura and others, all of whom are likewise being rediscovered alongside Inoyamaland. It compiles pieces recorded between 1982 and 1997, including tracks made at the same time as the first album "DANZINDAN-POJIDON" but left off that record. By this period the duo had moved on to digital synthesizers and samplers, and the result is an even more crystalline, beautiful evolution of their ambient sound. Like their other titles it was long hard to find, but in response to countless requests it now returns as a long-awaited reissue with remastered sound and bonus tracks. Seventeen gently played gems of Japanese environmental music, softly spilling over with the distinctly Japanese exoticism only Inoyamaland can conjure. It's been a little while since the release at the end of 2018, but allow us to introduce it once again. Highly recommended. Please check the track list as well. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
