This vinyl reissue is the only album released in 1981 by Colored Music, a unit formed by Hashimoto Kazuko and Fujimoto Atsuo, who are also known as support members of YMO.
This special Clear Sky Blue edition includes the track "Giant Bird," which was recorded at the time the album was produced but was unreleased until the CD reissue in 2018.The new wave sound, a crossover of earthy rock rhythms and minimalist sounds, is still striking today.
