WRWTFWW Records<\/strong> is proud to announce the worldwide reissue of Midori Takada<\/strong>\u2019s solo album from 1999, “Tree of Life<\/strong>“, available on vinyl for the first time ever in a new audiophile mix by the Japanese percussionist herself, and in full half-speed-mastered glory. The 180g LP comes in a heavy sleeve with a beautiful design by Kohei Sugiura. Tree of Life is also available in CD (digipack) and digital formats.<\/p>\n

Originally recorded in September 1998 at legendary Ginza (Tokyo) studio Onkio Haus (founded in 1974 and where Ryuichi<\/span> Sakamoto\u2019s “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” and many more were recorded) and released on CD only for the Japan market in 1999, “Tree of Life<\/strong>” is Midori Takad<\/strong>a\u2019s best kept secret, a lost gem of minimalism and percussive ambient. The album is separated in two parts, the first one finds Takada<\/strong> exploring her trademark environmental soundscapes with precise mastery of marimba, drums, and bells, notably on the magnificent fan-favorite “Love Song Of Urfa”. The second half is a collaboration with Chinese virtuoso Erhu player Jiang Jian Hua, allowing Midori Takada<\/strong> to unveil new layers of her artistic mind with a slightly more theatrical approach and a beautiful crystallization of complex simplicity.

The entire album was given a fresh new audiophile mix by Midori Takada<\/strong> herself and was mastered at Emil Berliner Studios, with half speed cutting for the vinyl version, to ensure an audio presentation aligned with the Japanese pioneer\u2019s vision.

This “Tree of Life<\/strong>” reissue follows two newly recorded Midori Takada<\/strong> albums, “Cutting Branches For A Temporary Shelter” and “You Who Are Leaving To Nirvana”, both available on WRWTFWW Records<\/strong>, along with her 1983 masterpiece, “Through The Looking Glass”. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
