Tim Zawadaが主宰し、Hotmood、Saucy Lady、Munir、Mogwaa、Giovanni Damicoなど数々の人気プロデューサーが名を列ねてきたシカゴの[Star Creature]。今回はなんと、ボンバーマン・シリーズなどのゲームをはじめ、テレビや映画などの音楽を担当してきたことでも知られる日本のアラブ音楽演奏家(ナイ奏者)、竹間ジュンのアーカイブを音盤化。DX7などの名機を駆使しながら、クリアで抜けの良いニューエイジ/フュージョン路線のインストゥルメンタルを繰り広げています。バレアリックな流れにもフィットしそうな良盤、ぜひチェックしてみてください！
Another Interplanetary Star Creature team up for a Chicago <-> Tokyo expedition across a fusional soundscape ranging from bossa nova lounge to pre-vaporwave exotica; new age city pop to minimal library boogie.
June Chikuma is best known now for her ground breaking Video Game soundtrack throughout the late 1980s and early 90s, most notably the now cult-classic status Bomberman Hero OST for Nintendo. During this same period of the late , she produced many recordings for a wide variety of clients including Japanese Public Transit Commercials, Video Game Arcades and VHS Nature Documentaries.
We reached out to June in 2019 with the hopes of combing her archives to present the modern listener base here on Earth. We selected a nice mix of tracks as entry point in June's work. These tracks have been rescued from obscurity, remastered and waxed up for contemporary universal enjoyment.
Hear Chikuma & Co. interpret influence's from Kraftwerk to Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock to Eric Dolphy, and Composers Ali Sriti to Paul Hindemith across a legendary line up of hardware synths ranging from Yamaha DX7, Korg Polysix, Roland D-550, and Oberheim Matrix-1000.
