Surround (Reissue) (Vinyl LP, Black)
After a sell-out reissue in 2024, Hiroshi Yoshimura's Surround is heading back to the shelves. Sitting at the heart of the ongoing revival of Japanese ambient music, this long sought after (and one of the most coveted titles in Yoshimura's catalogue) captures the late Japanese pioneer at his most elegant; designed as environmental music to enhance living spaces and blend seamlessly with the ambience of everyday life. - Flying Out
If Surround can be listened to as music that’s as close to air itself, allowing us to enter each listener’s sound scenery, or as something that exists within a new perspective, expanding the middle ground between sound and music, and transforming it into a comfortable space, it would be much appreciated.
— Hiroshi Yoshimura
Originally released as an album in January 1986, Surround was recorded by Yoshimura as a commission from home builder Misawa Homes, intended to function as an “amenity” designed to enhance the company’s newly built living spaces.
