PARAISO (REMASTERED)
Harry HOSONO & THE YELLOW MAGIC BAND
- Ref. XH797H
- SONY MUSIC DIRECT COMPACT (JPN, 2005. Enregistrement 1977-1978.
Hosono, now in his 70s, remains a titan in his country's musical history, but he does not strike such a towering figure abroad. Still, the impact of his vision has rippled across vast musical distances, making him perhaps the only artist whose sphere of tangible influence includes Derrick May, Afrika Bambaataa, Duran Duran, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, and Mac DeMarco. With his techno-pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra, Hosono helped pioneer sounds that shaped modern techno, hip-hop, and synth-pop. While Yellow Magic's influence is unimpeachable (if underrated), Hosono's role before and after the band's pioneering run lingers in the margins. That's partially because the bulk of his solo work has never been available in the United States, so his brilliance felt like a secret for record collectors and YouTube spelunkers. But a series of long-awaited reissues from Light in the Attic documents a five-album stretch from 1973 to 1989 that offers a revelatory glimpse at a mere sliver of his dizzying discography. At last, Hosono can step toward deserved international attention. (https://pitchfork.com).
