Now, the long-awaited 10-inch vinyl edition of 'ANATA GA OMOIDASU TAMENO' by his solo project Lantern Parade is finally here.

Featuring a collection of songs that are 'unlike anyone else-past or present-yet capable of connecting with many different kinds of music,' this essential work was released to mark the 20th anniversary of Lantern Parade's debut.

Lantern Parade's 'ANATA GA OMOIDASU TAMENO' is a lovely 12-inch release, and the pressing feels like a proper milestone for the project's 20th anniversary. The description calls it mysterious dance music belonging to no particular country, and that fits what I hear: Side A opens with 'In the dim light' and 'For you to remember,' while Side B drifts through 'Arousing,' 'Shiyu' and 'A lovely scent on a lovely evening.' It sits well alongside many different kinds of music without losing its own character. A great pickup if you enjoy dance music with a poetic, hard-to-place mood.
