Haruomi Hosono, Mixmaster Morris & Jonah Sharp – Quiet Logic
Originally released on CD-only on Hosono’s own Daisyworld Discs, Quiet Logic features Haruomi Hosono alongside ‘90s UK electronic legends Mixmaster Morris and Jonah Sharp. Morris, aka the Irresistible Force, made a name for himself opening up for bands including the Orb, Psychic TV, and the Shamen, and would later become a champion of the “chillout” sound that mixed ambient, downtempo, jazz, and lounge music. Sharp had a similar career coming up in the acid house scene, playing chillout rooms and producing experimental electronic albums with jazz and lounge influences. All the tracks here are great, though the Hosono co-composed tracks “Wakarimasen” and “Dr. Gauss / Yakan Hiko (Night Flight)” are certainly highlights.
