The 1990s was a particularly fertile decade for the Yellow Magic Orchestra co-founder. Following two decades spent creating and releasing innovative electronic pop, imaginary sound worlds and inspirational ambient music, Hosono established the Daisyworld label to showcase cutting-edge ambient, techno and electronica, while also embarking on a wide range of often overlooked collaborative projects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eN.D.E.\u003c\/em\u003e - one of the headiest, psychedelic, evocative and gently mind-altering albums in Hosono’s vast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ediscography, is one such project. It formed part of a run of albums that saw the Japanese producer embrace contemporaneous influences – think Spacetime Continuum style ambient techno, DJ Spooky-esque illbient, weighty ambient dub and the ‘ambient house’ antics of The Orb – in his own inimitable, far-sighted style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHighlights are plentiful, from the Test Department-at-dawn brilliance of Bill Laswell co-production ‘Edge of the End’ and the sunrise-ready, dew-fresh dreaminess of ‘Aero’, to the surging ambient techno hedonism of ‘Strange Attractor’ – a near cult cut that remains a timeless slab of hallucinatory dancefloor excellence – and the slow-motion space-dub of Francois Kevorkian collaboration ‘Teaching of Sphinx’, whose oddly processed sounds and low-slung bass subtly reference the Orb’s earlier remix of YMO’s ‘Tong Poo’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s also the impeccable, pleasingly experimental ‘Spinning Spirits’ – all addictive Indian rhythms, punishingly distorted bass, raw electronics and paranoid aural textures – and the sparkling bliss of ‘Heliotherapy’, a woozy chunk of sun-bright electronic hypnotism that encapsulates everything good about Hosono’s mid-90s productions. \u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eN.D.E.\u003c\/em\u003e remains an impressive, unearthly and otherworldly album. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rushhourmusic.bandcamp.com\/merch\/haruomi-hosono-n-d-e-2-lp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wcmNYJvYHyg?si=sKuxYdt0E_okBtc5\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Rush Hour\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Rush Hour Store Japan – 10\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2x Vinyl, 12\", 33 ⅓ RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Netherlands\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Jun 2023 \/ Original Release: Apr 26, 1995\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Abstract, Ambient\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Japanese Electronic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rush Hour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43356752806046,"sku":"8720648038129","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/0032662403_10.jpg?v=1710856535","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/haruomi-hosono-nde-2023-reissue-remastered","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
