Electronic, Ambient, New Age | Label: Medium Music

From MEDIUM, an electronic music label run by Masanori Nozawa, a writer/producer based in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, who has produced outstanding works centered on dance music/ambient chillout, a masterpiece dedicated to Japan's ambient scene has been released. Long-awaited appearance!

This is a masterpiece that we strongly recommend as a piece worthy of being called the 2020s version of "Kankyo Ongaku." The long-awaited 2CD box version of the ambient compilation album ``Medium Ambient Collection 2023,'' created by a wide variety of musicians based in various parts of Japan, has been curated from a modern and clear perspective, regardless of production method!

This work features electronica, post-classical, chiptune, underground techno, Willam Basinski's sophistication, post-vaporwave, harmony with nature, and other diverse perspectives, including voices, concrete sounds, playable synthesizers, and spiritual electronic sounds. With its low-bit sound, clear sustained sound, and beautiful piano acoustics, it is a monumental compilation album that represents one of the pinnacles of contemporary ambient music. It captures a clear time in which artists from a wide variety of scenes develop ambient as a new scene centered on the present.

For example, ``SEKITOVA'' develops ambience from the essence of techno, Hiroshi Watanabe's alias ``Kaito'' explores sophisticated sound textures after club music, and ``Kaito'' is a cross-disciplinary yet essential sound from New Age and beyond. All of the works included, such as ``Inner Science,'' which represents a chill-out style, and ``YAMAAN,'' which represents the ambient side of fantastic beat/chill-out music, demonstrate that ambient music is still at the forefront of the art of music. It is a crystal that represents what is happening.

I would like you to pick up this work, which captures a beautiful time that allows you to experience the landscape of the other side, which is the essence of "ambient" music. It is a masterpiece that can be said to be the best introductory album for understanding the current state of Japanese ambient music, and it is a milestone that defines the roadmap for the current scene. (Tsunao Kadowaki/Meditations)
