Masato Nasu I would like to tell 18yo me, that future music will be wicked. I was overwhelmed by so many ideas in this album. It is the best album of my life so far. Favorite track: Strong Rebel Beat.

about

Includes special bonus mix featuring tracks from the album

On reflection, Blue&Red has been an umbrella project with blurred lines bridging space and time between other projects.

This collection of unreleased and unheard tracks spans 25 years or so. Mostly dubrelated, sometimes breakbeat with piano and attempted guitar. Personal, reluctant and maybe not so accessible as other releases. In an odd way the covid interlude has allowed space for the compiling of this collection. Some of the session files have been lost over time and some tracks sound more 'finished' than others but as a wise friend once told me, 'you can't stay pregnant forever'
