Hiroshi Yoshimura - A・I・R (Air In Resort) FLAC download

“Mori No Yoake” is the name of A1 and appears to translate into English as something like “Dawn in the Forest”. Google Translate offers “Along the creek” as the translation of A2 and “Bird kite Chino Cafe” as the translation of A3. B1 is translated as “Sparkling waters”, B2 as “Eitaira line of gull” and B3 as “Star of sand”.This was commissioned and given away at a launch event in 1984 for a perfume made by the Shiseido cosmetics company and each copy was presented in a green bag liberally sprayed with the scent. It will likely still linger on copies today.From both my own experience and a couple of things I’ve read, it would seem that all copies are very badly pressed and so had obvious hisses and crackles when new. Correct me if I’m wrong though.The music is beautiful, as is the artwork.

That sounds like the story for the Kokubo reissue on LAG records?

Interesting! I've talked to a record dealer in Paris and he told me that the record was made for an Air Conditioner company. With each purchase of the model, this record was given away. Obviously not sure which story is true, but I kind of feel yours is closer to the truth. I totally agree on the quality of the press...

You're correct, the pressing is poor quality, but the music itself is truly sublime!

Yeah, the pressing seems a bit shoddy!

Is the English title something like "Air in Resort" (appears on the label)?

Yes, I believe so.

I'm just listening to this and my cat wants to enter the speakers ; )
