半野喜弘 Angelus
This is the third volume in a series of analog recordings of hidden masterpieces by 'Toshiba EMI'. This time, five titles released since the 2000s are being released!An album by Yoshihiro Hanno, a healing electronica musician active mainly in Europe. Hanaregumi (SUPER BUTTER DOG), Yoshie Nakano (EGO-WRAPPIN'), Haruomi Hosono, Miu Sakamoto, Ikuko Harada (clammbon) and others participated as vocalists. All songs are written, composed and arranged by Hanno. The vocalists' stretches are more than that of their respective leader albums. In particular, Hanaregumi's 'Dream Smell' and Ikuko Harada's 'Blue Moon' are so well done that one can feel the new possibilities of these two artists. Egorappin' Yoshie Nakano is even more glamorous than Egorappin'. Perhaps Hanno and the vocalists surprised themselves. Unlike the dense musical machine that is 'Lido, ' each of the songs is a live performance of it's own. (Original release: May 25, 2005)
