Includes insert and new liner notes. Strangelove Music present the first ever reissue of Syguira Lady, originally released in 1985. An eerie and absorbing ride through the rich imagination of enigmatic Osaka group, Viola Renea. While riding the current interest in Japanese music, the album remains an anomaly to much of the local music of the time. Juxtaposing ancient/modern sources of sonic inspiration, North England’s new musical movements collide with Eastern European folk rhythms, while oriental scales slide amongst wavey-electronic instrumentation. The resultant musical dreamscapes sought to conjure themes of noir and seduction, recurrent in the period’s techno-pop. Kuki Imamura described the album as the sound of unknown memories with aural visions and strange musical loves coalescing around a femme fatale; Syguiria Lady. Syguiria Lady is the first full reissue album for Strangelove Music. For fans of current Japanese music revival.
