Platinum Yellow Vinyl

Description

This is the very first reissue of this work. (Original release: 1987)
Released in 1987, Platinum is part of CASIOPEA's most sophisticated period, where the group refines a modern, precise, and decidedly urban jazz fusion sound. Driven by brilliant digital keyboards, a formidable rhythm section, and virtuosity without gratuitous display, the album embodies the high-tech aesthetic of the late 80s. The compositions, both melodic and complex, combine funk, smooth jazz, and Japanese fusion with controlled elegance. Platinum showcases CASIOPEA's ability to evolve with its time while maintaining an immediately recognizable identity. This reissue on Clear Lime Yellow vinyl highlights the refined aesthetic of the work and offers a new opportunity to rediscover a key album of Japanese jazz fusion.
