Also featured is a special Quiet Storm version of the massive hit by Reggae Disco Rockers, 'The Whistle Song,' along with a new remix of Su-Paka-Pooh's essential classic 'Kurage' by Slowly-revived after a quarter of a century and essential to understanding the label's history. In addition, a feel-good disco remix of 'Mayonaka no Door' by Aya Nakano With Bremen remixed by Fourtify-the new unit formed by Gakuji 'Chabe' Matsuda and Sgroove Smoove-is included. The compilation also features the first-ever release of Dominic Dawson's brand-new track 'Baltimore,' and the long-unreleased single version of Minako Okuyama's cover of S. Wonder's timeless classic 'Ribbon In The Sky. 'This well-rounded collection traces the full history of both Flower Records and BLOOM MUSIC.
