{"product_id":"philharmony","title":"Philharmony |","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing YMO’s first wave of success, Hosono took a break from the group and, with help from Alfa Records head Kunihiko Murai, established Yen Records in 1982. The label’s inaugural release was Philharmony, a masterwork recorded almost entirely by Hosono himself at his brand new \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eLDK\u003c\/span\u003e Studio. With unlimited studio time and freedom to explore, Hosono let himself loose with an array of synthesizers and the latest gadgets, from the Prophet 5 to the E-mu Emulator – all listed as “guest performers” in the album credits. Inspired by the possibilities opened up by these music-making tools, Hosono found new ways to approach his songwriting, resulting in a set of songs that showcase his ability to constantly and consistently innovate and create new standards. With ambient synthscapes like “Luminescent\/Hotaru” and the abstract sample-based expressionism of “Birthday Party” sitting perfectly in tune alongside pop favorites like “Sports Men” and “L.D.K.”, Philharmony is one of the most well-loved of Hosono’s albums, and a favorite of the artist himself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRemastered by Yoshinori Sunahara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eVinyl cutting by Bernie Grundman Mastering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLimited edition import Japanese press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eClick “Buying Options” button to purchase as a bundle with Japanese import of Paraiso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eEmail orders@lightintheattic.net to request a digital copy of the english-translation liners from our original release\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This is a different pressing from \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eLITA\u003c\/span\u003e 170\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e MHJL-71-2 -Artist-Haruomi Hosono\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/18\/19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48159881855235,"sku":"DBWB41-IOJM-AC","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/philharmony","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
