Collected Ambient Grooves 1993 - 2001

Deferent Golgi Eastern Mind brought me here, but the whole album is outlandish, disorienting, and otherworldly. The brightly colored entities residing here wish you neither good nor ill. In fact, they may not even be aware of your existence. But one way or another, they will change you. Favorite track: Eastern Mind [Ambient Mix].

jellobyte anytime sato-san releases anything i jump right in and this is no let down Favorite track: Daisy Drum.

twisted-exe Sato has put together a great ambient album that covers many different feelings. Good stuff. Favorite track: Daisy Drum.

viviantheterrible don’t ever fucking buy from these people i ordered a cassette of this months ago and it never showed up in my mailbox. very great album but this label is shit at getting its material to their customers.

Osamu Sato - Collected: Ambient Grooves 1993 ~ 2001

Musique Pour La Danse [MPD024]
File under: Ambient / Electronica / Japan

Musique Pour La Danse is proud to release Collected: Ambient Grooves 1993 ~ 2001, an anthology of music created by Osamu Sato, the Kyoto-born, Tokyo-based digital artist, photographer, and composer whose career began in the early 80s. In 1983, he released a cassette accompanied by silkscreen prints on Kaoru Sato's (EP-4, Vanity Records) sought-after Skating Pears label. He gained worldwide notoriety after creating cult video games Eastern Mind for Mac OS and LSD Dream Emulator for Sony Playstation, and composing groundbreaking soundtracks for both. This latter game, quite unlike anything before or after is often praised as a masterpiece that started a new era in the gaming community.

"Osamu Sato remains one of the most sought-after and intriguing personalities in the world of cult gaming, a spirit that haunts those who hunt the surreal and those who clamor for more like he produced in the past" as VICE once put it.

The previously unreleased and exclusive music gathered on this release explores the interzone between ambiance and a certain sense of groove and motion. Emotional melodies, deep and mystical moods, psychedelic progressions, along with electronic and organic instruments with Eastern influences are masterfully used by the composer to create tracks where the listener is always offered with a variety of layers to admire or get lost in. Some tracks fit more in the ambient category, while others are of a groovier persuasion but in reality, each track displays in its specific way a meticulous balance between both.

A timeless collection of artful music that exists in a genre of its own, with cover and design created by Osamu Sato himself, this is a total work of art created by the artist who celebrates his 60th birthday in 2020, find details below.

The sort of music that is beyond time. The sort of music that you feel more than you hear. I love the fact that vaporwave/dreampunk projects like these have such extremely evocative aesthetics they directly fill your mind with sensations you didn't know you had. You'd maybe think it relies on that solely, but it's coupled with gorgeous musicianship + intense production ideas. The volume and spaces it creates just pull you in instantly whatever your initial mood was. Still stunning to this day. SUPRAQUENCER
