Haruomi Hosono

1993
TriStar Music

Hosono navigated the ambient electronic boom with aplomb, even landing on a major label, the Sony-owned TriStar Music, for this album of heady remixes. Enlisting the likes of The Orb, Bomb the Bass, and 808 State’s Graham Massey, familiar Hosono tracks (and even his take on Ellington’s “Caravan”) get imaginative, head-swimming remixes. Rather than a hodge podge of remixes, it’s an album length listen that’s as giddy and loopy as a balloon of nitrous oxide.
