The transnational music collective 'Tsuki No Wa' has been the subject of much discussion over the past two years with the reissue of 'Ninth Elegy' (2000) and 'Moon Beams' (2003). Vocalist Fuminosuke and Hiromitsu Shoji (attc, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, pagtas), an electronic modulation performer/engineer and member of the same group, launched the duo 'Natsume' in 1999, a treasure of Japanese sound folk music. A masterpiece from 2003 that could be called 'music of reminiscence' is now available for the first time on analog LP from Sad Disco!Based on field recordings in India and Karuizawa, the music blends sitar, tambura, various ethnic instruments, and electronic processing to create a dreamlike, floating sensation. While enveloped in a serene and mystical psychedelia, the beauty of the soundscape, where nostalgia and foreignness coexist, is truly exquisite. Elements of Japanese and Korean folk songs and jazz faintly shimmer, imprinting a sense of reminiscence and deep resonance on the heart. This is a true record of a musical journey that should be passed down through the ages.
