Description

Now, it is set to be revived for the first time in 30 years in high-quality UHQCD, remastered from the original tapes. Additionally, the original soundtrack for the Toei film Shudan Sasen, composed by Kazufumi Echo Kodama, formerly of Mute Beat, is now available on October 30th in high-quality UHQCD, followed by its highly anticipated first-ever vinyl released on November 3rd.

In 1994, legendary Jamaican trombonist Rico Rodriguez joined forces with members of japanese band FISHMANS – Kinichi Motegi (Drums), Yuzuru Kashiwabara (Bass), and HAKASE (Keyboard) – along with DJ Barri-K from Gas Boys, showcasing his impressive turntable skills. REC & DUB MIX were expertly handled by ZAK. Though titled as a movie soundtrack, this album is essentially a solo work by Kazufumi Echo Kodama.
Kodama means Echo.
Thirty years after its release, in 2024, the sound still remains timeless.
