Product Description
Contents: The legendary recording "Rokudai = Chisui Kafu Kuushiki," created after the release of the masterpiece "Susto," is revived as six SACD (hybrid disc) titles and a double vinyl set, remastered by Taylor Dupree, who was highly trusted by Ryuichi Sakamoto. "The music 'Rokudai = Chisui Kafu Kuushiki,' created for 15 hours of video, is a unique electronic music piece left behind by Masahiko Kikuchi. After the electric jazz/funk of 'Susto' and 'One-Way Traveller,' most of the 80s were spent creating this music. It is a record of confronting pure electronic sounds and a globally rare work that fills the missing link between jazz and electronic music. It is nothing short of a joy to be able to introduce this to the world again through Taylor Dupree's remastering." (Masaaki Hara, rings producer) 1. AIR I 2. AIR II 3. AIR III 4.

Sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle. No one can ever imitate the artist that is nature. In an instant, you are transported to another dimension. There, time flows endlessly. The accumulation of each second, which no one can stop. In moments when you feel the greatness of the Earth and the universe, everyone turns to themselves and looks inward.
