UP ON THE ROOF EARLY DAYS RECORDINGS 2001 - 2004

[Machine Translation] Singer-songwriter Toshihide Baba will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut in 2026 with the simultaneous release of two best albums covering his entire career. This album contains 13 songs selected by Toshihide Baba from his indie trilogy of three albums, "Owl Songs", "Kamogawa", and "blue coffee", and remastered. Also, as a bonus track included only on the CD, "28", a previously unreleased song from a 1995 demo before the band's debut, is included for the first time. The personal flavor of the album, which was mainly produced at home, conveys Baba Toshihide's origins. Many of the songs were mixed down by Toshihide Baba himself. The songs from "Before Dawn" were composed before the band's full-fledged activities. The world of Baba Toshihide's music is like reading a novel, watching a movie, or looking at a picture book. The best selections from the rough stones of the indie era that decipher the origin and essence of Baba Toshihide!

2026年にデビュー満30周年を迎えたシンガーソングライター馬場俊英が全活動を網羅するベストアルバムを2作同時リリース。今作にはインディーズ活動期の「インディーズ三部作」である3枚のアルバム「フクロウの唄」「鴨川」「blue coffee」から馬場俊英が自ら厳選セレクトした13曲をリマスターで収録! またCDのみに収録のボーナストラックとして、デビュー前の1995年のデモ音源から未発表曲「28」を初収録。全体を通して感じる主に自宅制作で仕上げられたことによるパーソナルな味わいから馬場俊英の原点が伝わってくる。多くの曲でミックスダウンも馬場俊英本人が担当している。本格的な活動以前の「夜明け前」の楽曲群。一篇の小説を読むような、一本の映画を観るような、一冊の絵本を眺めるような、馬場俊英の音楽の世界。馬場俊英の原点と真髄を読み解くインディーズ時代の原石からのベストセレクション!
