WRWTFWW Records announce the official reissue of
Motohiko Hamase
's extremely rare live album
Anecdote
, recorded in 1987. This marks the sixth release from the Esplanade Series which focuses on the works of
Yoshio Ojima
, Motohiko Hamase, and
Satsuki Shibano
.
Anecdote
was recorded live June 12th, 1987 at Spiral Garden (Wacoal Art Center) in Aoyama (Tokyo) as part of the Eat Newsic Concert No.3. Motohiko Hamase on electric fretless bass, synthesizers, and computer programming, is accompanied by frequent collaborators
Toshio Kaji
on acoustic piano and synthesizers, and
Yasunori Yamaguchi
(of
#Notes of Forestry
fame) on acoustic percussions. The three-man band improvises around Hamase's unique repertoire of ambient and electronic music, reinterpreting pieces from his albums
Reminiscence
(STUDIOMUL 010CD/LP),
Intaglio
(STUDIOMUL 008CD/LP), and
#Notes of Forestry
. It's environmental and minimalist experiments with a jazz soul, three brilliant musicians flowing to blissful heights, and a beautiful testament to the '80s Japanese ambient scene that gave birth to seminal releases by
Midori Takada
,
Satoshi Ashikawa
,
Yutaka Hirose
, and many more. Essential. The live album came out on CD only in 1993 on Motohiko Hamase's Lung Records. It is now reissued in conjunction with his
#Notes of Forestry
and
Anecdote
albums. The album is sourced from original masters and available on vinyl (double LP) for the first time ever as well as on CD. It comes with liner notes from the artist.
