Mkwaju Ensemble KI-Motion LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Official Reissue On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Sourced From Original Masters & amp; Cut at Emil Berliner Studios! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; WRWTFWW Records is over the moon to announce the official reissue of legendary album KI-Motion by Japanese percussionist & lt;b & gt;Midori Takada & lt;/b & gt;'s MKWAJU ensemble, sourced from the original masters and cut at Emil Berliner Studios, housed in a 350g old Stoughton tip-on sleeve. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A highly creative and transcendental fusion of marimba, vibraphone, bamboo percussion and synthesizers, KI-Motion was recorded in 1981 and captures the birth of Midori Takada's exploration of minimalism, African rhythmic tradition, and ambient music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album takes its conceptual inspiration from the tamarind ( 'mkwaju' in Swahili), a drought resistant tree notably used to craft some of the first mallets and marimbas but also known for its culinary and medical uses, an essential symbol of life and identity for the Central African grasslands. Drawing from the region's culture and music as well as the crucial notion that rhythms represent the very fabric of life, Midori Takada leads her ensemble into environmental heaven to create one of the highlights of her recording career and an absolute must-have from the golden age of Japanese ambientÂ…the ideal companion to her majestic Through The Looking Glass opus! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 140g Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 350gsm old Stoughton tip-on sleeve & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Sourced from original masters & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Mastered at Music Matters Mastering & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Cut by Frederic Stader at Emil Berliner Studios & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Made in England & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Midori Takada, percussion, marimba, vibraphone, voice, etc. & lt;br & gt; Yoji Sadanari, percussion, marimba, vibraphone, etc. & lt;br & gt; Shuichi Chino, synthesizer & lt;br & gt; Shuichi & quot;Ponta & quot; Murakami, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Pierre Barouh Le Pollen Import LP & 7" Vinyl Single
& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Official Reissue On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Includes A Bonus 7 & quot; Vinyl Single! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;WRWTFWW Records release the official reissue of Pierre Barouh's hard-to-describe-but-easy-to-enjoy French flair meets Japanese avant-garde lost treasure of experimental-electronic-chanson-pop with a new-wave-minimal-bossa touch, Le Pollen. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Originally recorded July 1982 at Nippon Columbia Studio in Tokyo and composed, arranged, and played by a who's who of Japan's most groundbreaking musicians of the '80s. A free-spirited world traveler with an incredible ear for music, Paris-born singer and activist Pierre Barouh introduced the sounds of Brazil (and more) to Europe and pushed the envelope with his pioneering label Saravah, home of adventurous innovators Brigitte Fontaine, Areski, Jacques Higelin, Nan & amp;#225; Vasconcelos, and Roland Bocquet's Catharsis among many others. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;His bohemian border-free vision of modern chanson, blending musical tradition from various parts of the globe with forward-looking artistry, resonated particularly well in Japan, where the scene spearheaded by Yellow Magic Orchestra fell in love with everything Barouh. And so, one day in 1981, Pierre Barouh received an invitation from a Japanese label to come record an album in Tokyo. Not one to turn down an escapade around the world, the French visionary jumped on a plane and landed in a studio surrounded with a dream line-up of musicians: Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto of YMO, Yasuaki Shimizu and his Mariah bandmates Masanori Sasaji and Hideo Yamaki, members of the Moonriders, Motohiko Hamase, Mitsuru Sawamura of Interior, Kazuhiko Katoh, and the list goes on. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Also participating in the making of the album were longtime collaborator Francis La & amp;#239; and the mysterious and beautiful David Sylvian. The result is Le Pollen, a sincere and affectionate mix of nouveau chanson, techno-pop, post-punk, jazz, bossa, ambient, and minimalism. And probably something else entirely. Barouh's fascinating cosmopolitan music melting pot is, above all, a reassuring ode to humanity, where friendship, exchange, and collaborative creativity breeze freely. Includes bonus 7 & quot;, housed in a heavy sleeve displaying two immaculate photos of Barouh and holding a printed lyrics insert. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Official Reissue & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;45rpm 7 & quot; Vinyl Single & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Import & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Heavy Sleeve & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;2 Photos Of Barouh & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Printed Lyrics Insert & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;L'Autre Rive & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;P & amp;#233;p & amp;#233; & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sans Parler D'Amour & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Perdu & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;La Lettre & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Le Pollen & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Parenth & amp;#232;se & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Les Uns Et Les Autres & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Demain & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;7 & quot; Vinyl Single & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Saint Paul De Vence & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Boule Qui Roule & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
