First time on vinyl. Moon Beams is a bonafide opus -- a masterful mix of jazz, latin, folk and electro- acoustic, topped with bandleader Fuminosuke's soaring, spectral vocals. Bassist Takuyuki Moriya was also a member of Ghost, and drummer Yuta Suganuma is a long-time member of the Shintaro Sakamoto band. The quartet's third album in as many years, Moon Beams found Tsuki No Wa taking a gigantic leap forward in both compositional sophistication and sonic experimentation. Beautifully recorded in a (since demolished) Meiji-era ballet studio, and featuring guest performances from such underground luminaries as Yoshihide Otomo and Ami Yoshida, this timeless, ambitious work sounds just as spellbinding today as it did a couple decades ago. Originally released on CD by Japan's Soundscape label in 2003, and now on vinyl for the very first time, this 2025 version features an updated mix from the band and brand new album art with unseen photos of the group in their heyday. Mastered by Josh Bonati, 2xLP (3 sides of music/ 4th side is blank), packaged in a full-color, double panel gatefold jacket with eye-popping gold foil lettering.
