Music From Memory

Heisei No Oto: Japanese Left-field Pop From The CD Age, 1989-1996 (digital version) by Various Artists Music From Memory are excited to announce a special compilation that they’ve been working on for some time now; MFM053 – VA – Heisei No Oto – Japanese Left-field Pop From The CD Age (1989-1996). Compiled by long-time friends of the label, Eiji Taniguchi and Norio Sato, Heisei No Oto delves into a world of music released almost exclusively on CD and brings together a fascinating selection of discoveries from a little known and overlooked part of Japan’s musical history.

Music From Memory is delighted to be turning 50 with a special release: Virtual Dreams: Ambient Explorations In The House & Techno Age, 1993-1997 (3xLP/2xCD). The first in a series of various artist compilations, alongside more in-depth artist focused releases, Virtual Dreams will delve into music produced during the 1990’s that redefined the boundaries of ‘Ambient’. This was music that explored the possibilities of Ambient within a new setting, created often by House and Techno producers for a world beyond dance floors but made very much with the pre-clubbing and post-clubbing listener in mind.

‘Music For Theatre And Dance – Volume Two’ is the second in a small series of EPs that will focus on music which was initially created for or inspired by dance and performance. Created as a dialogue with the avant-garde and highly experimental work in dance, theatre and art evolving at the time, the music was in turn at times greatly innovative.  Craig Kupka - "Electric Piano, Vibraphone & Percussion" (12:10) Ray Lynch - "Cooking Till It's Hot" (4:04) John Van Rymenant & Michael Galasso - "Scan Lines" (part 1) (17:00)

Dâm Funk switches it up in Garrett mode for a 3rd helping of Californian synth goodness on MFM. The astral ambient soul is positively oozing from ‘Private Life III’, shimmering with nods to everyone from Herbie Hancock to Paddy McAloon and a constellation of classic synth soul, but always with Damon G. Riddick’s judicious application of the funk. Chasing The Clouds Away Hang Glyde Room With A View Timeless Memories Pushin' Knowing Watching The Skies
