Description:

Haruomi Hosono's first new album in six and a half years is his first two-disc set! Disc-1, titled "Eight Beat Combo," features his well-known live covers of "Tutti Frutti," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Angel On My Shoulder," and other gems. Disc 2, entitled "Essay," contains a variety of original sound sources, including a new original song, "Suzaki Paradise," a new version of "Mohican," the theme song for Shuichi Okita's film "Mohican: Homecoming Home," and a rare commercial soundtrack that fans will covet. The booklet also includes liner notes by Hosono himself, describing his thoughts on each song and its origins.
