This was originally released only on CD in Japan in 1997 as a duo record by Londoner Mixmaster Morris and Scot in San Francisco Jonah “Spacetime Continuum” Sharp – but for its 2023 vinyl release got re-attributed, as it was recorded in former Yellow Magic Orchestra mischief-maker Haruomi Hosono’s studio and he co-produced two tracks and oversaw and finetuned the whole album process. Whether it was the luxury of Hosono’s well-appointed studio, the sense of global connection, or just a meeting of very eccentric minds making something greater than the sum of its parts, this is one of the great documents of mid-90s psychedelic electronics. It’s a perfect joining of dots through decades between Tangerine Dream, Japanese 80s environmental music, drum’n’bass and many more influences – but those influences are secondary to a monumental, elegant sense of shape, space and time in the here and now. Every swoop and chirrup of pitch-bent tone, every rumble of sub-bass, every fluttering breakbeat are all part of a perfectly constructed environment that you can enter inside of, but will never want to leave. On the right soundsystem, its quiet logic becomes more apparent the louder you play it.
