S ▪ F ▪ X

Haruomi Hosono’s 1984 synth experiment S ▪ F ▪ X arrives via Another Record Company as a crystalline collision of electro and experimental impulses. Sequencers lock into rigid, almost mechanical grooves while pitched synthesizers drift across the mix like weather systems—Hosono’s fingerprints all over the production, from his Yellow Magic Orchestra days but more austere. Vinyl-only release that rewards patient listening, revealing intricate layering beneath its austere surface.
