Haruomi Hosono – Medicine Compilation From The Quiet Lodge

Description

A classic from Haruomi Hosonos late 80s and 90s abstract electronica period, Medicine Compilation From The Quiet Lodgeis a sublimely inviting ambient album with touches of acid house, downtempo pop, and ethereal trip-hop. Standout Laughter Meditation opens up the album with gorgeous zither and kalimba from Laraaji, a peaceful 4-to-the-floor beat, and spoken word. The track feels something like the sonic equivalent of walking through a serene Japanese garden on a sunny day.Medicinealso contains a memorable ambient rework of Honosos classicTropical Dandytune Honey Moon. The track is understandably less tropical this time around, more tranquil, and features a gorgeous duet vocal from Akiko Yano. via Label
