Nicole (86 Spring And Summer Collection - Instrumental Images)

by Jun Fukamachi

supported by

angeblesse Music for airports with ensembles of free instruments. I can picture a garment collection moving with this, and now maybe even lounge to it myself.

<3 4 lovers of ambient or the above Favorite track: Passion (Bonus Track / Digital & CD Only).

David Orr It's nearly impossible to pick a favorite track. This has become one of my favorite records of all time. It's got a vibe for any mood and it still hangs together so well. I love it so much. Favorite track: Nile Blue.

Michael Feihstel Glad to see this brought back to life. Beautiful, important album, hopefully followed by countless other re-issues of rare, japanese gems. Favorite track: Urban Square.

about

WRWTFWW Records is proud to announce the release of Jun Fukamachi’s highly coveted Nicole (86 Spring And Summer Collection - Instrumental Images) album, originally recorded in 1986 for celebrated fashion designer Mitsuhiro Matsuda’s Nicole clothing brand and never officially available before.

Only ever distributed as a limited promotional item offered to attendees and participants of the 1986 fashion show for the Nicole brand’s Spring and Summer collection, Fukamachi’s moody magnum opus has become a sort of Holy Grail for fans of Japanese ambient, jazz, and synth music alike…and rightly so! Meticulously conceived, smooth and subtle, Nicole sounds like it came from an ethereal land where Erik Satie and Art of Noise lived together, a sublimely cinematic listening experience perhaps best described by renowned Japanese music writer Masaharu Yoshioka aka The Soul Searcher:

If you are driving down the Autobahn at 160 km/h, or even 80 km/h, and Jun’s music starts playing on the car stereo, the windshield will instantly turn into your own personal silver screen.

Nicole is available in two versions: a vinyl LP cut at Emil Berliner Studios, housed in a kraft sleeve similar to the original promo-only release, and a kraft digipak CD version. Both versions were made in cooperation with the artists’s estate and come with new liner notes by Masaharu Yoshioka.
