Somewhere Between (UK-Import)
Somewhere Between: Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism & Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980-1988 hovers vibe-wise between two distinct poles within Light In The Attic's acclaimed Japan Archival Series--Kankyo Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990 and Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1976-1986. All three albums showcase recordings produced during Japan's soaring bubble economy of the 1980s, an era in which aesthetic visions and consumerism merged. Music echoed the nation's prosperity and with financial abundance came the luxury to dream.
