This is "Still Way," a masterpiece of Third World ambient music by Satoshi Ashikawa, a close friend of Hiroshi Yoshimura, the master of environmental music and ambient, and a genius artist who passed away young. Ashikawa was also a key figure in the Sound Process label, which released Yoshimura's "Music For Nine Post Cards," this album, and Kenichiro Isoda's masterpiece, "Série Réflexion 1." This album is a highly valuable first CD release from the 90s. It's been traded on Discogs for 25,000 yen, and it's sure to become even more valuable as Vaporwave and ambient music become more popular with the general public. This is a complete, beautiful copy with the obi (sleeve). This album, clearly influenced by the ambient pioneer Brian Eno, features the sound of a harp that is both reminiscent of Japanese instruments like the koto, while also evoking a sound as if it were coming from a Third World like Debussy's, or from a completely different world, isolated from this one. It's a work that strongly conveys the wabi-sabi and the depth of space through perfectly designed additions and subtractions, like the "Japanese ink painting" music that Bill Evans, who played piano on Miles Davis's masterpiece "Kind Of Blue," wrote in the liner notes. Furthermore, this album features Midori Takada, who, like Ashikawa and Naoki Toshina, would later be highly acclaimed for her ambient masterpiece, "Mirror's Edge." She adds a touch of vibrato to Ashikawa's delicate composition, as if walking on thin ice. Currently, old CD discs are gradually becoming unreadable, but this album, which is like a self-produced, independent release, may become unplayable the next time it appears on the market due to its rarity. This album has been confirmed to play all tracks without any problems. We hope you don't miss this rare opportunity, which may never come again, and that you will enjoy this truly beautiful music for a long time.
