Release Notes:
This first-ever Cibo Matto compilation gathers 18 career-spanning favorites from
their '90s Warner Bros. releases. Includes the previously unreleased tracks
"Swords And A Paintbrush" and "King Of Silence" (Dan The Automator Remix), as
well as the rarities "Backseat" and "Vamos A La Playa."
In the second half of the '90s, New York City-based Cibo Matto ("food madness"
in Italian) were a cornerstone of the era-defining downtown music scene.
Centered around the Japanese expatriate duo of Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori, they
fused rap, trip-hop, Japanese pop, dub, lounge, alt-rock, and more. Sean Lennon
became a member in 1999, a few years before the group disbanded, leaving a tasty
legacy of music that stands as a late-20th century cultural hallmark.
