Japanese ambient composer Ken-Ichiro Isoda crafted some of the most evocative electronic and new age music of the early 1990s, and Beach of the Pliocene brings together the finest moments from that era into a single stunning collection. Released by We Are Busy Bodies, this double LP draws from six of Isoda's CD albums originally released in 1990 and 1991, featuring his signature blend of synthesizer and percussion alongside delicate vibraphone work from Yuki Hirao.
What makes this release truly special is the personal touch behind it — Isoda himself selected, edited, and reconstructed these eight tracks, including four that were re-recorded in 2024, creating a definitive statement on this chapter of his work. Spanning material from albums including Meditation of Clammbon, Majel's Star, and Sparkle of Space Time, this compilation offers a sweeping journey through his meditative, atmospheric soundscapes in a carefully curated double LP format.
