Long regarded as essential listening by Free Soul diggers and fans of Happy End and Tatsuro Yamashita, this album is the only record the Batteau brothers — David and Robin, both active as singer-songwriters — made together as a duo. David played violin in the bands Appaloosa and Aompton & Batteau, and later released solo albums. From the crystal-clear blue-eyed soul of the popular track B4 "High Tide" (sample 3), which sounds exactly like the cover looks, to the beautiful, refined tone and placement of each instrument — guitar, electric piano, violin, percussion — this is a record that rewards close listening. Be sure to check out the samples from the tracklist. (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
