Masumi Hara, one of the most distinctive musicians in the scene, released two albums in the early 1980s "Imagination Exchange and" "4 X A Dream*. This is his third album, released in 1988, four years after his previous work. Featuring contributions from the same lineup as previous album including Banana, Bun Itakura, RA, this album can be called best work, blending unique lyrics and vocals with a contemporary digital sensibility and fantastical avant elements. Particularly noteworthy are highlight's electric wave piece "Mo-" which evokes a dreamlike fantastical space, "Odoru Gaikotsu " which showcases RA's avant electro sound with a freaky saxophone in the latter half and eccentric electro-folk "Promised Full Moon" featuring his highly individualistic vocals. Due to the transition to CDs, the vinyl release has been rare for many years.
80年代前半に「イマジネイション通信」「夢の4倍」といった二枚のアルバムをリリースした界隈随一の個性派ミュージシャン 原マスミ。本作は前作から4年の月日を経てリリースされたサードアルバムに当たる88年作。前作同様Banana, 板倉文, RAといった面々が参加した中、独特の詩と歌に時代性もあるデジタル感覚と不思議な前衛要素が相まった最高傑作と言える内容。特に夢遊幻想空間を漂っているようなエレクトリック・ウェーヴ名曲”ムー”、RAの面目躍如といったアヴァントなエレクトロサウンドにフリーキーなサックスが絡む後半も凄い事になっている”をどる骸骨”、超個性的ヴォーカルの前衛エレクトロフォーク”約束の満月”は白眉。CD移行期につきレコードは長年稀少となっています。
