Album Notes & Community Reviews

This breathtaking debut album from the Japanese composer elegantly synthesizes classical romanticism with the burgeoning environmental ambient movement. 'Sarah's Crime' relies heavily on acoustic piano and violin, interwoven with subtle, atmospheric digital synthesizers and sparse jazz phrasing. The record's deeply nostalgic, rain-swept melancholy gained it an immense cult following decades later via internet music communities.
