Haruomi Hosono's 'Cochin Moon' is an absolute gem, one of his most experimental and mind - blowing releases. Originally launched in 1978, just two months before the Yellow Magic Orchestra's debut, this album takes you on an epic sonic adventure inspired by India, UFOs, and yes, even diarrhea as Hosono mentioned in the included interview. Japanese pop - art legend Tadanori Yokoo, who had a purification experience in India and digestive issues later, nudged Hosono to take the trip. Their plan to record an atmospheric album of found sounds changed after encountering Kraftwerk on the journey, resulting in a masterpiece of overdubbed synthesizers and manic sequencer work. This high - quality Japan import comes on black vinyl. It includes a printed foldout insert and an obi strip. It's a limited - edition release from King Records in 2016. Highly recommended for music lovers.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable and set the tonearm carefully on the lead - in groove. Listen at a volume that suits your preference. When you're done, lift the tonearm gently and return it to its rest. Always handle the vinyl by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its quality over time.
