A ghost compilation released by the DIY label Soft, which existed in Tokyo Akasaka. What makes this compilation so appealing is that it also includes attractive tracks by unknown artists other than the eccentric duo Picky Picnic, who released a demo tape the previous year. You can find Pink Label's electronic new wave pop “Good Luck” by M. Tuno and Chibo, Name's experimental wave “N.H.K.” and “Do We All Need Love” that radiates pure sensibility, electronic ambient pop "Pearl" by Classic Pearl led by Kazuo Saida (one of this release's key figures), and deliberately provocative track “Black Nile” by label head Goro Some and Kazuo Saida. You'll breeze right through it. You'll listen through it in no time. Awesome!
東京赤坂に存在したDIYレーベルSoftからリリースされたお化けコンピレーション。前年にデモテープをリリースしていた異形デュオPicky Picnic以外のアーティストも無名ながら創造的な楽曲を収録しているのがこのコンピレーションの魅力でしょう。M. TunoとちーぼーによるPink Labelによる電子ニューウェーヴ・ポップ”Good Luck”、Nameによるセンスしか感じないエクスペリメンタル・ウェーヴ”N.H.K.”, "Do We All Need Love"の両曲、今作のキーパーソンのひとりKazuo Saida率いるClassic Pearlによる電子アンビエントポップ”Pearl”、レーベル主宰染吾郎とKazuo Saidaによる確信犯的トラック”Black Nile”まですぐに聞き終えちゃいます。最高～！
