Lose yourself in an atmosphere of allied electronic artistry, from collaborators in turn-of-the-millennium Japan. Cocoon ("Maju" in Japanese) features work by artists who played in Audio Sports, Maju, Neina, Hosomi, Kangaroo Paw and Synapse -- with particular focus on musicians Aki Onda and Sakana Hosomi. Their overlap outlines a scene that paralleled Nobukazu Takemura and the Childisc label, and resulted in some of the most innovative, glitchy ambient and post-rock music of the time. Listen up, and let the sonic boundaries break down.
