Music From Memory is excited to announce a special compilation that they’ve been working on for some time now; MFM053 – VA – Heisei No Oto – Japanese Left-field Pop From The CD Age (1989-1996). Compiled by long-time friends of the label, Eiji Taniguchi and Norio Sato, Heisei No Oto delves into a world of music released almost exclusively on CD and brings together a fascinating selection of discoveries from a little known and overlooked part of Japan’s musical history.
Featuring tracks produced by legends like Hosono and Yasuaki Shimizu, ranging from Kazuko Hashimoto to MOMUS and the ’90s ambient group DREAM DOLPHIN. The first pressing sold out exclusively through pre-orders. We’ve finally secured additional stock. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
