Yoshio Ojima – Club

Part of the “Kankyō Ongaku” environmental music movement, Yoshio Ojima is a legendary Japanese musician creating his own distinctive style of ambient and electronic music since the 1980s. He is also a sound designer who has worked on the development of sound systems of many renowned public facilities in Japan such as Spiral (Wacoal Art Center), Living Design Center Ozone, Tokyo Opera City Galleria, etc. Originally released on cassette only in 1983, Club is a cult classic collection of avant-garde electronica, proto-techno, mecha-ambient, and ear-pleasing experimentations from the master behind Music for Spiral and producer of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Pier & Loft, Motohiko Hamase’s Notes of Forestry, and Satsuki Shibano’s iconic Rendez-Vous. “Days-Man” shines with arpeggiated bell tones sequences that are playfully processed through delay effects while “Orientation” sounds a bit like the techno-pop of Haruomi Hosono’s 1982 Philharmony album.
