Ambient excursions from a desert island far away in the japanese sea where dragonflies, squids, turtles and peafowls live between clover, cryptmeria and apple trees, all driven by some hopeful, mellow harmonies emerging from the water around and below
Inoyama Land are Makoto Inoue (known from the experimental rock band Hikashu) and Yasushi Yamashita, produced by Haruomi Hosono (YMO).
As you can see on the insert (skip to 18:09), Hosono has built a special \"Water Delay System\" for the sound design of \"Pokala\", \"Glass Chaim\", \"Mizue\", \"Meine Reflexion\" and \"8·31\". Three speakers and a woofer are placed in the water (with rubber or vinyl covering) or on the water surface in a tank, the delayed sound is then recorded with a simple microfone and mixed together with the original recordings, so that the music sounds exactly like diving through the underwater cave on Inoyama
