Now he’s put years of digging in Japanese record shops to good use on Polyphonic Cosmos, the latest release on his compilation-focused Cease \u0026amp; Desist imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubtitled ‘A Beginners Guide to Japan In The ‘80s’, the collection offers a personal selection of Japanese gems recorded and released between 1981 and ’86 – a period when advances in recording and musical technology offered the nation’s artists and producers a whole new tool kit to employ. When combined with the unique musical culture of Japan, where local traditions are frequently fused with Western styles to create timeless, off-kilter aural fusions, this embrace of locally pioneered music technology had spectacular, often unusual results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight years in the making, Polyphonic Cosmos provides an endlessly entertaining musical snapshot of Japanese music of the early-to-mid ‘80s with all of the open-minded eclecticism and sonic twists that you would expect from the Glasgow-based DJ. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ceasedesist1.bandcamp.com\/album\/polyphonic-cosmos-sonic-innovations-in-japan-1980-1986\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/1BuPacuXNWA75gi35gX8ez?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.051%; height: 134.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50.0644%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9356%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCease \u0026amp; Desist (2) \u003c\/span\u003e– C\u0026amp;D 002\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e2 x\u003cspan\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search?format_exact=Vinyl\" hreflang=\"en\" class=\"link_1ctor\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Compilation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003eUK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e18 Nov 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003eElectronic, Rock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003eLeftfield, Post-Punk, Synth-pop, Disco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cease \u0026 Desist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42302053777566,"sku":"5060944574352","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a0984587940_10.jpg?v=1671086715","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/various-polyphonic-cosmos-sonic-innovations-in-japan-1980-to-1986","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
