CLUB

Description

WRWTFWW Records is honored to announce the very first vinyl release of the rare and forgotten album. Composer and leading figure of Japanese environmental music Yoshio Ojima. It was previously released in a limited edition of 50 cassettes in 1983. This electronic/proto-techno/experimental gem is available as an artist-supervised LP reissue, sourced from the original masters and housed in a thick 350 g/m² sleeve. Only 500 copies have been produced. A precious and sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts of early Japanese electronic music, Club is a stunning and timeless collection of avant-garde electronics, proto-techno, mecha-ambient, and ear-pleasing experiments by Yoshio Ojima, the ambient/environmental master behind the landmark albums Music for Spiral released in 1988 and producer of Hiroshi Yoshimura's Pier & Loft, Motohiko Hamase's #Notes of Forestry, and Satsuki Shibano's iconic Rendez-Vous. Filled with original minimalist acid synths, dynamic techno collages, beautifully childlike pre-IDM, and the irresistible DIY charm of humble beginnings, the 8-track album is a fun, adventurous, and risky yet catchy piece in the most peculiar way in the history of Japanese electronic music, perfectly capturing the incredible creative energy bubbling up in the country's scene in the 1980s.
