2026 repress with new cover art, which is the original artwork designed by Takao firstly released on his private Bandcamp page in early 2018.
"Stealth" is the aptly-titled debut album from Tokyo-based composer/producer Takao. Gliding in under the radar with thirteen slyly sweet and subtle miniatures, these pieces are refreshing light-explosions of gentle harmony and modestly grand melodies. Fans of New Age and tonal minimalism wil enjoy this music, but its brevity reveals a pop-influenced aesthetic as wel, and the level of care and detail in the arrangements and recording evinces a nuanced, surprisingly mature sensibility. There's a blossoming brightness and elegant simplicity that even cals to mind gentle ghosts of Satie and Debussy.
