Sugaya, Masahiro - Pocket Of Fever (Limited) (Vinyl)

The Pocket of Fever, originally conceived in 1987 as a cassette release for Pappa Tarahumara’s avant-garde dance company, merges traditional Japanese elements with modern compositional techniques, reflecting the fluid and dreamlike choreography. This reissue marks the first time the album has been made available on vinyl, offering a fresh perspective on its intricate layers of sound. The album shifts between nostalgia, as in Green of the Future, and the poetic hypnosis of Conversation with the Wind. These pieces invite the listener to explore deeply evocative and intimate sonic landscapes.

Over three decades later, this album remains essential for fans of ambient and experimental music. Inspired by figures such as Hiroshi Yoshimura, Midori Takada, and Brian Eno, The Pocket of Fever endures as a timeless masterpiece, inviting introspection and the appreciation of its serene beauty.
