Description

Spanning the deepest reaches of the Tokyo technopolis, this selection of vivid synth miniatures is lovingly extracted from Shinichi Omatas unreleased early recorded output, 1981-1983. While sprinkled with 8-bit harmonic fragments indebted to Erik Satie, arcade game soundtracks and Kosmische synthesis, this kaleidoscopic collection is a delirious, mesmeric collage of DIY techno-pop that you cannot quite believe youve never heard before. Produced in cooperation with the artist for chOOn!!.

Remastered for 180g heavyweight vinyl and digital at Bonati Mastering in Brooklyn with sleeve artwork by the internationally acclaimed book sleeve designer Luke Bird. Available for the first time on vinyl (previously unreleased).

Somewhere between Solid State Survivor, Force Majeure and Danzindan-Pojidon youll find Shinichi Omatas Boku Neko Platanus. Or rather you wont throughout his captivating debut from 1984, reissued by chOOn!! in 2022, youll hear connections to other music but its unique unbridled will keeps pushing those references out of mind.
