Casiopea - Euphony Vinyl Record, Japan, [Import] (PRE-ORDER)

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER ITEM WE ARE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE ON 10/2/26 AND WILL SHIP SHORTLY AFTER! 

Japanese crossover and fusion are hot again now. As either an outgrowth of, or a spin-off phenomenon from, the global reappraisal of city pop, Japanese fusion has been rapidly rising since around last year.

This was the second release on AURA, the band’s own label established under Polydor, and their 13th studio album overall.

Because they had continued recording overseas for some time, they chose not to bring in guest musicians for this album, instead settling into their home base at STUDIO JIVE and creating it solely with the band members.

As a result, the album offers a fresh and lively sound that returns to the group’s roots.

Alongside the live staple "SUPER SONIC MOVEMENT," it is also packed with new attempts, including the Japanese-flavored "Old Times," the techno-driven big band-style jazz track "SOLID SWING," and the high-speed Latin funk number "RED ZONE."

This also became the final CASIOPEA album for the duo of Tetsuo Sakurai and Akira Jimbo.

(Original release: 1988)
