Kaoru Inoue is a Japanese veteran producer and DJ, active since late '90s. He has been releasing music from his own label Seeds and Ground and other labels like Mule Musiq and Groovement. This album was originally released in 2013 Japan. It's a style mix of world music, field recording, ambient and electronic music. The album starts with the minimal gamelan ambient "Malam," followed by "Selva," a minimal Afro-Brazilian house which reminds listeners of early Luciano or Villalobos. The third track "Kamui Fuchi" is an electric jazz fusion house, while the fourth track, "Sphere," is like Joan Bibiloni in the late '80s. The B-side track "Etenraku" is avant-garde tribal break beats, and the album closes with the beautiful melancholic new age music "Healing Force."
