First reissue of this long-time sought-after Japanese experimental gem from the '80s. A walk in Paris somewhere between the '30s and the '50s made by a Japanese lost soul. Montparnasse by Yoran is a surreal journey into an era which has maybe existed but long gone. A melancholic fantasy about a time you'll never know and can only smell the atmosphere. Memories and flashes come from an ancient time, cobbled streets where heels crack far away surrounded by the tickle of a street musician, a classical dance class directed by some piano notes or an announcement from an old train station. The cryptic French spoken-word infuses the extracts and sound collages taken from different French movies looped into a broken tape player. The result is one of the most mysterious and looked after Japanese '80s underground record. This reissue is pressed for the first time on 12" at 45RPM. Remastered, limited edition of 500.
