The Daily Dig

British saxophonist Jasmine Myra returns with her third album, recorded live in a single take with a 13-piece ensemble. Alto saxophone weaves quietly into strings, harp, vibraphone, and guitar, creating an atmosphere that drifts between cinematic soundtrack and folk reverie. Co-produced by Matthew Halsall on Gondwana Records, mixed by Greg Freeman.

來自英國里茲的薩克斯風手 Jasmine Myra，攜帶第三張作品《Where Light Settles》歸來。以十三人編制樂團同步現場錄音，弦樂、豎琴、顫音琴交織融匯，中音薩克斯風內斂地沉入整體合奏，營造出近似電影配樂的民謠氛圍。由 Matthew Halsall 共同製作，Gondwana Records 發行，混音出自曾與 Hania Rani、Portico Quartet 合作的 Greg Freeman。

Japanese trombonist Hiroshi Suzuki's cult masterpiece Cat returns in a clear yellow vinyl reissue with OBI strip. From the sharp swing of Shrimp Dance to the crystalline keyboard reverie of Romance — a melody famously sampled by A Tribe Called Quest — this 1976 recording remains one of the most treasured albums in the Japanese jazz canon.

日本長號手鈴木弘的傳奇名作《Cat》再度重發，這次以透明黃色彩膠呈現，附美麗 OBI 帶與日文解說。開場曲〈Shrimp Dance〉律動鮮明，〈Kuro To Shiro〉展現奔放貝斯獨舞，壓軸〈Romance〉則由鍵盤手鈴木宏昌帶出如水晶般閃爍的旋律，再以幽夢般的長號聲響收尾，漂浮於幻夢之中。這段旋律曾被 A Tribe Called Quest 取樣，是日本爵士史上最難忘的篇章之一。

Hamada Kingo's second album from 1983, a sleek AOR gem featuring luminaries like Hiroshi Sato on keyboards and Makoto Matsushita on guitar. The breezy Gatsby Woman opens with sun-drenched ease, while the deeply felt Wasted Summer Love, produced by Sato, lingers long after the needle lifts. Remastered in 2020 and presented as a vinyl exclusive for CITY POP on VINYL 2026.

濱田金吾 1983 年於 MOON RECORDS 發行的第二彈作品，陣容豪華——佐藤博、松下誠、鳥山雄司皆參與其中。開場曲〈Gatsby Woman〉旋律清新灑脫，〈Wasted Summer Love〉則由佐藤博製作，深情演唱令人沉醉。此次以 2020 年 Remaster 版本黑膠限定盤於 CITY POP on VINYL 2026 重發，都會感滿溢的 AOR 遺珠。

洪申豪引領的台北樂團 VOOID 發行同名新黑膠，數量極為有限。這支樂團在台灣地下音樂場景中備受矚目，以後搖滾與實驗性聲響交織出屬於自己的語言，日版由大浪漫廠牌發行，是當代台灣獨立音樂不可錯過的聲音記錄。

Kiw's debut double album treats the computer as a fourth band member, building freely improvised passages where jazz, broken beat, and electronics entwine in futuristic motion. Recommended for fans of Snarky Puppy, Aaron Parks, and The Bad Plus — a debut that breaks the ceiling of electronic jazz.

Kiw 的首張專輯《Cosmosis Volume 1 & 2》將電腦視為第四位團員，在爵士、碎拍與電子融合的即興演奏中，構築出充滿未來感的自由律動。推薦給喜愛 Snarky Puppy、Aaron Parks 或 The Bad Plus 的聆聽者，是一張突破電子爵士邊界的一鳴驚人之作。

New Zealand singular talent Aldous Harding teams again with producer John Parish at Wales's legendary Rockfield studio. Harp and pedal steel weave through spare arrangements while her chameleonic voice shifts between vulnerability and authority, yielding an uncanny, beautiful contemporary folk record hailed as her career peak.

紐西蘭才女 Aldous Harding 攜手製作人 John Parish（曾合作 PJ Harvey、Dry Cleaning），在威爾斯傳奇錄音室 Rockfield 打造這張新作。豎琴與踏板鋼棒吉他的細膩音色，在極簡器樂安排中與她多變嗓音融合，創造出既詭譎又迷人的當代民謠美學，獲全球音樂媒體譽為職業生涯巔峰。

Built upon the 2015 compilation of unreleased recordings Aoi Garasu Dama, this expanded edition adds nine bonus tracks — six of them privately recorded during Yoshiko Sai's 1987 hiatus, never before heard publicly. The cover uses her own previously unseen artwork, making this the definitive collection for devotees of her haunting avant-folk.

這張 CD 以 2015 年發行的未發表曲集《青いガラス玉》為基礎，額外追加 9 首加贈曲目，其中 6 首是佐井好子在 1987 年活動暫停期間私下錄製、至今從未公開的音源。封面採用她本人創作的未公開畫作，內頁收錄未公開照片——是連資深樂迷都會感到震驚的終極珍藏版本。

A 1984 self-released pressing of only 500 copies, kept deliberately invisible by a band opposed to commercial rock — making this one of the rarest recordings in Japanese rock history. Unsold original stock surfaces unexpectedly after more than forty years in storage; sleeves and records may carry the natural marks of time, each one a sealed fragment of underground history.

1984年的自主盤，限量五百枚，由於樂團秉持反商業搖滾的立場，當年幾乎未進行任何宣傳，使其成為日本搖滾史上最難尋獲的錄音之一。沉睡超過四十年的原版庫存無預警重見天日，並非二手回流品，封套或黑膠或帶有歲月自然的痕跡，正是這段時間凝固的見證。

Fukuoka trio MuchaMuchaM returns with a 7-inch featuring new member Seto Aomi reinterpreting the Kagoshima folk song Chawanmushi no Uta through their signature reggae groove. The B-side dub version transforms the sweetly soft vocals into something hypnotically hazy — a joyful experiment at the border of folk melody and rhythmic space.

福岡三人組 MuchaMuchaM 睽違兩年的新單曲，邀來新成員瀬戸口碧海翻唱鹿兒島民謠〈茶わんむしのうた〉，注入獨特的雷鬼律動；B 面 Dub 版本更是將甜美柔軟的嗓音燉熬成迷幻香甜的曲風，是他們持續探索民謠與節奏音樂邊界的精彩嘗試。

Yoshiko Sai's secret archive: this expanded CD builds on the 2015 unreleased compilation Aoi Garasu Dama with nine additional bonus tracks, including music from the Nikkatsu film Shojo Jigoku and six recordings made privately during her 1987 hiatus — never released until now. The cover uses her own unpublished artwork, completing a portrait of an artist in hiding.

佐井好子的隱藏密盤——以 2015 年發行的未發表曲集《青いガラス玉》為基礎，追加 9 首 Bonus Track，包括日活系列電影《少女地獄》插入曲〈暗い旅〉，以及 6 首 1987 年暫停期間私下錄製、至今完全未公開的音源。封面採用她本人創作的未公開畫作，內頁亦刊載未公開照片，CD 版本限定發行。
