Originally issued by Crammed in 1987, this is one of the most sought-after releases in their legendary ‘Made to Measure’ series.
Known for his numerous albums, soundtracks, and collaborations with the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Van Dyke Parks, Pierre Barouh, Bjork and Elvin Jones, composer and saxophonist Yasuaki Shimizu wrote and recorded this brilliant and inventive collection of short pieces, initially conceived for Japanese TV commercials (and bearing sweet titles such as “Seiko”, “Sharp”, “Honda” etc).
This album has achieved near-mythical status in the last few years, which have seen artists such as Oneohtrix Point Never sing its praise.
