June Chikuma Les Archives Limited Vinyl LP + 7"

Overview:

Les Archives is composed, arranged, and produced by the elusive Japanese artist June Chikuma. While Freedom To Spend's reinvented edition bares little visual evidence of its origins in the composer's name, title, or sleeve design, the album, a whooping gonzo of synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, and a mysterious string quartet, remains as vibrant now as it did when released on Toru Hatano's Picture Label as Divertimento in 1986. In fact, the music of Les Archives now glows with a different purpose; one that revises the past while maintaining, and finally elevating, its hidden influence.
