LP-Limited Edition Blue Vinyl. With new liner notes by original album producer Hiroyoshi Shiokawa. Includes Yoshimuras original notes in Japanese and English. Temporal Drift proudly presents the long-awaited, first-ever reissue of Surround, Hiroshi Yoshimuras sought-after ambient classic. Originally released as an album in January 1986, Surround was recorded by Yoshimura as a commission from home builder Misawa Homes, intended to function as an amenity designed to enhance the companys newly built living spaces. A pioneer in the field of environmental music, Yoshimuras previous works included Music For Nine Post Cards (1982), originally produced to be played back inside a museum space, and designing sound environments for public spaces and subway systems. Surround was recorded almost concurrently with the acclaimed and popular Green (1986); the two albums are described by Hiroyoshi Shiokawa in his liner notes as being Yoshimuras yin and yang. In his original notes for the album, Yoshimura recommends that Surround be placed in the same family of sounds as the vibration of footsteps, the hum of an air conditioner, or the clanging of a spoon inside a coffee cup. And, as he suggests, with the addition of city noise from outside the window, you may hear Surround in a completely new way.” New liner notes by original album producer Hiroyoshi Shiokawa.
