hi guyz !! im makin a bit of a different post today. i wanted to share some album/ep covers that ive been thinking about recently cuz album art is so cool + i love all of these artists dearly. enjoy my rambles :D

Sign - Nobukazu Takemura (2000)

my pfp !!!! i discovered the title track sign from the album hoshi no koe, but this is the record it originally debuted in! takemura is a japanese electronic musician who makes a lot of experimental music, and this album is no different. however, it has sort of a.. nintendo vibe to it? it’s difficult to describe, but it’s super fun !! i love the album art as well and the rhythmic motion of the building. the little music note guy has my whole heart too, theyre jus a little goober <3

Paraiso - Haruomi Hosono and The Yellow Magic Band (1978)

i wouldve put this in yellow but there is no option. anywayz this is a interesting album. ive recently started listening to hosono’s music and i enjoy it a lot !!! hosono house is fire, but this one is also good ! the cover art is what initially led me to listening to this, i love the beach atmosphere and the sky as space. and the little bubbles that have random monuments in them. and the palm trees n plants and agh. it’s delightfully surreal and im here for it !!!

S-F-X - Haruomi Hosono (1984)

look hosono you’re awesome and i love your early stuff so far. but i could not get into this ep at all. might try again tho !! but it’s really a shame because the cover is awesome. i love the distortion on the face and the pops of pink and yellow against the teal background. it’s very pleasing to look at and it’s been floating in my mind for awhile. very futuristic lookin !

Sail - Masakatsu Takagi (2003)

I AM THE ULTIMATE TAKAGI FAN #1 anyway. this album is so so lovely and silly. it has a special place in my heart now fr. the best way to describe it is animal crossing/picopop(??) type music. some of it reminds me of kero kero bonito’s music too. idk genres are weird !! point is it’s very upbeat and nostalgic. a few tracks are more somber sounding, especially rama. but i love the album art of this one, it’s like something you’d see in a dream or a childhood memory. i love the watercolor texture and the blend of pastel colors too!! and how it looks as if it was combined from multiple layers, as in each piece of the figure was made separately. overall takagi is a genius and this album SLAPS

Keep It Unreal (10th Anniversary) - Mr. Scruff (2009)

mr. scruff makes very cheeky and silly electronic music, but occasionally he drops an absolute banger. nah fr all of his stuff is good, some of it is just more “serious” than others. but i appreciate his sense of humor and the beats he makes ! this album of his is a great listen, but i especially love the cover. the og album cover is mounted up in the corner while these little bean guys are celebrating. truly a work of art. his other album ninja tuna also shares a similar art style !! very goofy <3

A Wizard, a True Star - Todd Rundgren (1973)

do i gotta say anything even. this is just a masterpiece of a cover. there is so much going on in the best way possible. i love the incorporation of the geometric shapes. the trippy visuals. it screams 70s. not to mention this album is fire. international feel is so good !!!

Desire, I Want to Turn Into You - Caroline Polachek (2023)

PHOTOGRAPHY JUMPSCARE ! i recently go into caroline polachek and OML where have you been all my life. this album is pure pop bliss and her vocals are so so good. sunset and fly to you are especially good oug. the album cover in particular is very simple in concept but it’s executed so well. the lighting, the sand, the bus chairs, her outfit?? absolutely stunning. this woman oozes creativity fr.

Dreams - Gabor Szabo (1968)

i could not find a better quality image of this one but holy molay this is a great jazz fusion record. is it fusion? idk anymore. but this is a great album and the art is just. mwah. i love all of the intricate details and the flowers. it’s just gorgeous !!! what else can i say !

Dead but Dreaming - vivivivivi (2023)

final one !!! vivivivivi is honestly super underrated, though her song credits song for my death has 8 million views on yt. anyway, this was a pretty recent album from her and it’s very cool !!! def gives the vibes of an rpg. i love the album cover tho!! the artist did a tremendous job with it, i love the overgrowth of the flowers and the shading. it also suits the tracks well !!

#okay tumblr got so slow while typing for this post lmao #feel free to send me asks about my music taste or these albums !! #ren music time #nobukazu takemura #haruomi hosono #masakatsu takagi #mr. scruff #todd rundgren #caroline polachek #gabor szabo #vivivivivi #wooo !1!1!

urute - masakatsu takagi

listened to a harp mix on spotify and discovered masakatsu takagi. i also found out they did the soundtrack for mirai (2018), so cool! i love the album artwork and i wish i could find more of this particular style. the music is so rich with ambient sounds, waves crashing, tambourine, bells, the flute!!!, crickets, door creaking? i also love the chant-like singing? idk what to call it but listening to this immediately sends you to a mountain side setting overlooking the sea- just like mount osmond (which i visited the other day).

18 tomorrow i will walk out of my room in the morning and i might forget that i'm already thinking of the sun on my bed

i wish i could look the way a have a nice life song sounds. i'm sure there are people out there who look like every genre of music, because there are people out there that look like everything, but god id love to hang around ambient-looking mfs. i haven't listened to it much recently, but i kind of love ambient music.

like cucumber and orange slices in tea. like cropped button-ups and chinos, maybe, but i could wear that, so i dont think so. (i could make an effort to look ambient music if i wanted to, of course.) like leaving your heart open for the wind to blow through. like the irish countryside in a sunny autumn day. like grass next to a pond the sky's reflected on. like a properly loved poetry book.

beautiful, i guess. in a relaxing way. i think maybe if i listened to ambient music more, i'd be a happier person. i know have a nice life isn't an ambient band in the general sense and i definitely know their music is not relaxing or delightful (it is delightful, but not in a 'this is a delight!' way) like the things i'm talking about. i want to look like their music right now because i'm listening to it right now and i, as usual, feel kind of like shit. and i wish i could do the things that very likely will keep me from feeling like shit, but i can't. i can't get myself to.

i don't put tasty things in my tea because all i drink is gross stale water and sugar water (drink mix). i don't wear my button-ups cropped because i'm insecure and my hips and thighs are really wide, so i wear wide shirts that cover my ass in wide pants and i hope it's all hidden. my heart is closed because everyone that seeps through the cracks doesn't know the place they're in. i would love to go to ireland, and i would love it if fall wasn't dry and horrible (16 degrees in the morning, 29 after lunch). i live in a big, pondless city. i don't read poetry books.

i should switch from have a nice life to masakatsu takagi, my absolute beloved. (amamizu is the most beautiful song i have ever listened to. i think it might be my favourite song, but i've had a favourite song for so long that i forget about amamizu whenever someone asks. i'll try to remember, but i've been so forgetful lately.) i kind of was enjoying the bitter mood the music was putting me in. just absolutely misery. kind of wet, kind of cold. like a proper miserable day. but i don't want to feel like that, so i shouldn't. there we go. i'm listening to amamizu now. this song makes me want to dance without wanting to dance: it makes me picture flowery fields and being in love and big, billowy white skirts and families and love and picnics and fizzy water. it makes me think of that beautiful prairie in the howl's moving castle movie. it makes my heart swell up like a heat balloon.

listen to amamizu! if my brand new one follower (cheers!) comes across this, listen to amamizu!
