A renowned keyboardist and songwriter who showcased his talent in groups such as Huckleback—formed by Shigeru Suzuki after the breakup of Happy End and Caramel Mama—and Masaki Ueda’s Bad Club Band, singer Hiroshi Sato—who boldly incorporated synthesizers in his work alongside YMO—has released his 1979 masterpiece third album, "Orient," now on clear green vinyl!
Nearly 40 years after its original release, this record—which collectors around the world have been desperately searching for—has finally been reissued on vinyl. This reissue is available on clear green vinyl LP. Don’t miss this opportunity. Featuring Shigeru Suzuki on guitar, Haruomi Hosono on bass, Pecker on percussion, and Masaki Ueda on background vocals. Utilizing the Yamaha CS-80, Korg synthesizers, Mini Moog, Poly Moog, Yamaha CS-30, Clavinet, Fender Rhodes, and acoustic piano, this album features eight tracks that represent a unique crossover experiment. It blends the New Age utopian worldview of Eastern philosophy from that era with grooves inspired by East Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as well as world music, fusion, city pop, and the Japanese language. A timeless masterpiece often mentioned in the same breath as YMO’s works from the same era. The cover art, which appears to have been influenced by Dick Hyman, adds a charming touch. (The sample audio contains crackling noise. This is for reference only; such noise is generally not present on this reissue.) Also includes my personal all-time classic, "DONCAMA."
