{"product_id":"asahito-nanjo-m-lp","title":"Asahito, Nanjo – M LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Asahito Nanjo, the notorious leader of some of Japan’s key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990’s. Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl and digital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA lesser-known side of Nanjo Asahito – if all you know of his work is the overloaded, intensified psych-rock and free-sound of his group projects then the solo songs on M gently redraw the contours of Nanjo’s private universe. There’s something gem-like in the way these five songs are formed, even as they accrue grit and dirt while drifting out of the speakers. Here, Nanjo grabs handfuls of gentle chord changes, allows them to rotate in the air, suspended in reverb, flickering in half-light, as he murmurs drowsy melodies. The closing — Eucharist — pushes everything through a thin layer of distortion; elsewhere, tinkling piano, from guest Matsuoka Takashi, who also performed with Keiji Haino’s Nijiumu, disturbs dust molecules to dance through hazy air.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asahito, Nanjo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48053464662261,"sku":"BELA 005-045LP","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/a1517561494_2.jpg?v=1776834580","url":"https:\/\/blacksound.com.au\/products\/asahito-nanjo-m-lp","provider":"Blacksound Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
