Hiroshi Sato's masterpiece 'Awakening' has been reissued for the fourth time in a new color 'Pastel Blue Vinyl'. The album was cut by world-renowned engineer Bernie Grundman based on high-spec sound data digitally converted to 96KHz/24bit from the original master tapes. The pressing was done at Sony Music's factory in Japan. This is Hiroshi Sato's fourth original album released in June 1982 after his career in Los Angeles, and his first album for Alpha Records. Featuring Canadian female vocalist Wendy Matthews and using the most advanced drum machine at the time, 'LinnDrum,' this mellow and soulful album is a perfect fusion of Sato's sound sense and the atmosphere of American West Coast, and has transcended generations, continues to influence many musicians. Guest guitarists include Tatsuro Yamashita, Tsunehide Matsuki, and Yuji Toriyama! Limited edition. LISTEN:https://open. Spotify. com/album/0bBj6hYg0NLPJtiQlKXNRdTracklist:SIDE
