Description: Haruomi Hosono - Pacific - Classic Import Vinyl LP Record - New & Sealed - Ships Fast!!! Pacific is an album featuring instrumental compositions by Japanese musicians Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki and Tatsuro Yamashita first released in 1978. It is also the first in the CBS/SONY Sound Image Series. At this time Haruomi Hosono was just in the middle of preparing for YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra), and the three songs he was in charge of were produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yukihiro Takahashi and several others. The album brings together some of the best session musicians Japan had to offer to make an album that would evoke the atmospheres of the South Pacific islands, the kind of places Japanese people spend their vacations. Pacific is a treat to the ears; its theme of the southern Pacific ocean and its warm cerulean waters relax its listeners with a fusion of city pop, soft jazz, and that good old 1970s funk while remaining surprisingly fully instrumental throughout. A true cult LP and an inspiration for a lot of so called "vaporware" music. It’s a wonderful combination of early electronic instruments and exotic sounds. “Cosmic Surfing”, which was later included in YMO’s debut album, also appears for the first time here. Jen Monroe of Listen to This called the album "a classic," stating "its unabashed tropical nostalgia acts as a jumping off point for flitting between genres (lounge, funk, disco, rhumba, smooth jazz, Latin fusion, synth pop), all delivered in full-color with jaunty, winking songwriting." This album is an absolute treat for the ears, and pressings of any kind rarely show up in new condition. Don't miss out!
