magoski Before One is awakened
Before the Sun is Called
upon
the Moon's Beams
must be
soothed
to their sleep
to their good night
Before the World awakes
Dreams must be rocked to sleep
Held
in loving arms
How can we ever be
deserving of what it is we dream
if we do not bid it properly goodnight
Embrace your shame
and say "Goodnight"

Favorite track: Plein Soleil.

about

Mesh-Key is thrilled to announce a deluxe, expanded reissue of Moon Beams by Tokyo visionaries, Tsuki No Wa.

Originally released on CD by Japan's Soundscape label in 2003, Moon Beams is a bonafide opus -- a masterful mix of jazz, latin, folk and electroacoustic, topped with bandleader Fuminosuke's soaring, spectral vocals. Bassist Takuyuki Moriya was also a member of Ghost, and drummer Yuta Suganuma is a long-time member of the Shintaro Sakamoto band.

The quartet's third album in as many years, Moon Beams found Tsuki No Wa taking a gigantic leap forward in both compositional sophistication and sonic experimentation. Beautifully recorded in a (since demolished) Meiji-era ballet studio, and featuring guest performances from such underground luminaries as Yoshihide Otomo and Ami Yoshida, this ambitious work sounds just as spellbinding today as it did a couple decades ago.

Our reissue features an updated mix from the band and brand new album art with unseen photos of the group in their heyday. The vinyl (2LP, mastered by Josh Bonati and pressed at RTI) comes in a full-color, double panel gatefold jacket with eye-popping gold foil lettering.
