"Best New Reissue" - Pitchfork (May 6, 2023)
"#1 Best Reissue of 2023" - Boomkat

Junko Tange’s second and final album - a phantasmagoric masterpiece of distant, dreamlike voices woven through pulsating, dubbed-out drum machines, synths and static, originally issued by Osaka’s Vanity Records in 1981.

Did this unassuming dental student (who vanished from the music world following this release) inadvertently invent minimal techno? You be the judge. Label head Yuzuru Agi said this was his favorite Vanity release, and it’s not hard to see why.

Officially licensed from the custodians of the Vanity Records archives, this edition has been fully remastered from brand new transfers of the miraculously well preserved original analog tapes by Stephan Mathieu.

Late '70s/early '80s solo project of intrepid sonic trailblazer Junko Tange (with contributions from Masami Yoshikawa). Tange was a dental student at the time and promptly vanished from the music world after releasing two brilliant albums on Osaka's Vanity Records.
