Audio critic Masamitsu Fukuda has carefully selected 10 tracks from the Venus Records catalogue and compiled them into a single album.

"The key to this selection was both good music and a good recording. Just as there's a sense of spiritual cleansing satisfaction after a delicious meal or admiring a masterpiece in an art museum, listening to good sound also gives you a unique sense of pleasure. The pursuit of this kind of sound is the kind of audio I strive for, and I refer to this experience as "audio appreciation."

Adding jazz to that good sound doubles or even triples the enjoyment. This time, I once again selected such "sources of comfort." Even when listening to music, you're actually savoring the sound itself as well as the music itself. Jazz listening at a sufficient volume in front of the speakers isn't jazz you're doing while doing something else; you're listening head-on. This is true "jazz appreciation" and "audio appreciation."

Selecting just 10 songs from the vast VENUS album collection was no easy task. I did something similar for our 30th anniversary commemorative album, but I avoided songs that overlapped with that. I first selected the performing groups, and then selected songs from those albums that offered the most sonic enjoyment. The recording has a fresh sound, a sense of definition that comes from the distance of the instruments and microphones, and a good balance of resonance, all of which make the tone of the performance even more wonderful."
