первоначально разработан для облегчения перехода released in 1982 as part of the Wave Notation series, Still Way is, without a doubt, a seminal Japanese environmental/ambient/minimalism альбом, often mentioned alongside Мидори Такада s Through Looking Glass and Hiroshi Yoshimura s Green as one of the genre s most important pieces.

"Like the moment of stillness, after the wind passes through the garden, when the rain stops for a brief second..." Notably inspired by Эрик Сати’s Furniture Music and Брайан Ино’s ambient work, Satoshi Ashikawa aimed to compose music "intended to be listened to in a casual manner, as a musical landscape or a sound object...not something that would stimulate прослушиватели but music that should drift like smoke and become part of the environment."

The result is simply phenomenal, тонкий minimalism and emotional elegance exquisitely orchestrated by Satoshi Ishikawa and his team consisting of his wife Массами Ashikawa (on flute), Мидори Такада (on vibraphone), Юко Уцуми (on harp), Томоко Sono (on piano), and Junko Arase (он вибрафон).

In conjunction with Still Way, WRWTFWW is releasing Laistigh den Ghleo, a companion album by Irish ambient/minimalist composer Gareth Quinn Redmond, inspired by Ashikawa s approach.
