Fishmans
Uchu The Best of Fishmans (2LP) (Yellow Vinyl)
- Pressed on yellow double vinyl
- Limited edition
- Originally released in 2005
Eclectic Japanese band with its stylistic roots in psychedelia and reggae, formed in Minato, Tokyo in 1987 by Shinji Sato, Kin-ichi Motegi and Kensuke Ojima.
Fishmans went on a hiatus in 1998, but, after the untimely death of their lead singer Sato in March 1999, decided to regroup as a live band.
They incorporated many different genres and styles into their music throughout the years, like e.g. funk rock, dream pop, ambient pop, trip hop or post-rock and they continue to experiment with new sounds to this day.
Drummer Kinichi Motegi, currently with the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, curated a selection of tracks for this album based on the concept of "Kuchu (Aerial)" and "Uchu (Universe)," featuring music from two labels in 2005. The album has been highly requested by Fishmans fans for an analog version and is available as a limited edition on Yellow 2LP Vinyl.
