On the 1st anniversary of releasing UNKNOWNjp's first Soun release “Angel” we are glad to present this extraordinary piece of art. “And & And” is a reel-to-reel format mental state. Perfect opener with all the desires, heartbeats and obsessions. The loops are getting us closer to some kind of spiritual and metaphysical essence. It's impossible not to get lost in such an outstanding soundworld. If something is beautiful, you can't really do anything about it. You just like it without any obligations. Welcome to Tomonari Nozaki's garden! And the tape is rolling gently forward into the sounds of near-death experiences. What a trip! Well, all the tape believers out there should get the drift. Mastering was expertly handled by Tomonari Nozaki himself, recording at Soun Records using a vintage reel-to- reel tape recorder calibrated according to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standards. Both the plastic and metal reel editions are available upon request.

Description by Gábor Horváth

[Stationaly Travel]

AND&AND is a an album of ravishingly beautiful ambient pieces from Japanese composer Tomonari Nozaki, aka UNKNOWNjp. Lush, cinematic, almost symphonic in intensity, it is quite an emotional experience to listen to all the way through. Also of interest, the songs were recorded with vintage reel-to-reel tape recorder and, in addition to the digital format, plastic and metal reel packages are available to order through Soun Records. Stunning and unique.
