This vinyl reissue is the only album released in 1981 by Colored Music, a unit formed by Hashimoto Kazuko and Fujimoto Atsuo, who are also known as support members of YMO. This special Clear Sky Blue edition includes the track 'Giant Bird, ' which was recorded at the time the album was produced but was unreleased until the CD reissue in 2018. The new wave sound, a crossover of earthy rock rhythms and minimalist sounds, is still striking today.
