|   |   The underground's obsession with Japanese music made  |   |
|   |   during the country's unprecedented economic boom has  |   |
|   |   reached a fever pitch. For me, forays beyond Yellow   |   |
|   |   Magic Orchestra's axis began with Spencer Doran's     |   |
|   |   2010 mix, Fairlights, Mallets and Bamboo, and         |   |
|   |   stretched through last year's reissue of Mariah's     |   |
|   |   stunning Utakata No Hibi. Now there's Music From      |   |
|   |   Memory's reissue of Dip In The Pool, a group who      |   |
|   |   combines the poetic space of the fourth-world sound   |   |
|   |   with gauzy UK dream-pop.                              |   |
|   |                                                         |   |
|   |   These two versions of "On Retinae" come from the      |   |
|   |   excellent 1989 album of the same name. This release   |   |
|   |   is actually based on a promo 12-inch issued in Hong   |   |
|   |   Kong in an edition of 50. Even the band didn't know   |   |
|   |   it existed until recently, leading us to assume the   |   |
|   |   madmen behind Music From Memory dug up a copy in      |   |
|   |   some dank basement. This music, however, reaches far  |   |
|   |   beyond the obscurantists.                             |   |
|   |                                                         |   |
|   |   On Retinae arrives a half-decade after landmark LPs   |   |
|   |   like Haruomi Hosono's Philharmony, Yasuaki Shimizu's  |   |
|   |   Kakashi and Utakata No Hibi. Shimizu, the producer    |   |
|   |   behind Mariah, plays clarinet on these tracks, but    |   |
|   |   at this point, the disruptive pop that defines the    |   |
|   |   Japanese sound of the early '80s has been smoothed    |   |
|   |   out, favoring the complacent cool of English          |   |
|   |   contemporaries like Pale Saints. This is pop in its   |   |
|   |   most romantic, stately form. The arrangement is       |   |
|   |   paradoxically sparse and ornate, sounding like an     |   |
|   |   updated version of Brian Wilson's glockenspiel-heavy  |   |
|   |   Pet Sounds. Vocalist (and actor) Miyako Koda coos     |   |
|   |   sweet nothings about leaving a party. The label       |   |
|   |   suggests it's the perfect night ender, set to take    |   |
|   |   over for Fatima Yamaha's "What's A Girl To Do." To    |   |
|   |   me, this one is for home listening, though it evokes  |   |
|   |   a similar yearning quality as Yamaha, a sound that    |   |
|   |   can make old music feel remarkably new.               |   |
|   |                                                         |   |
