Originally created in 1987 as an image album for a luxury Sanyo air-conditioner, Get at the Wave stands as one of the most surprising and enduring works of Japanese ambient music.
Recorded using synthesizers and natural field recordings, the album was designed to transport listeners far from the heat and noise of urban life — into open water, gentle wind, and unhurried space.
Kokubo's mastery as an acoustic environment designer is present in every texture, blending electronic composition with an almost physical sense of atmosphere and place.
Intimate, expansive, and quietly radical, Get at the Wave is an essential document of kankyō ongaku — and one that sounds more necessary than ever.
"Take one listen at Get At The Wave and it won't take you much time to realize why Kokubo would eventually gravitate to healing music. Meditative, relaxing — it gets exactly at such a wave." — Diego Olivas, FOND/SOUND
"Tropical-hued Japanese '80s electronic soundscapes... designed to transport the listener far away from the heat and hurry of urban life." — The Vinyl Factory
