Sales Information:

The Amsterdam based Modern Obscure Music label launches a new
sub-division named MOMArchives. MOMArchives is a reissue label that will
focus on electronic music. All releases will be available on vinyl and
also digitally.

The first release is Neocrystal by Japanese producer Yoshihiro Sawasaki.
It is a fantastic slice of mid 90s Japanese Ambient Techno that needs to
be heard by a larger audience. Yoshihiro Sawasaki is a Kyoto based
producer who has released music under aliases such as Naturally Gushing
and Doctor YS & the Cosmic Drunkards on labels like Sublime Records,
Apollo Records and V2. Neocrystal was originally released on Sublime
Records back in 1994. Sublime Records is an important label in the
history of Japanese electronic music. The imprint has released music by
domestic artists such as Susumu Yokota and Ken Ishii, as well as foreign
talent such as Global Communications. The B Side to Neocrystal is Magic
Dome. This was licensed to Dave Angel’s instalment of the legendary
X-Mix series on Studio K7!

The first MOMArchives release begins with the ‘On The Beach’ mix of
Neocrystal. It is a dreamy ambient track with gorgeous key washes and
reverberating synthetics. It is followed by Magic Dome, a spacey keyed
cut with bright synth play, subtle percussion and hypnotic key work.
This is a wonderful archive release from Yoshihiro Sawasaki and it is a
great start for MOMArchives.
