Description

"Nihon Synthesizer Ongaku no Akebono" is a reissue series focusing on valuable works from albums that documented the trial-and-error of the early days of synthesizer music in Japan during the 1970s, many of which were never released on CD and are now difficult to obtain. The series is supervised by Hideki Matsutake, a pioneer of Japanese synthesizer programmers and an honorary member of the Japan Synthesizer Professional Arts Association. "Switched On Hit & Rock" is a little-known work released in 1972 by synthesizer master Isao Tomita as an easy-listening album of Western music covers shortly after introducing the Moog synthesizer, originally issued as a four-channel record. The know-how gained during its production later culminated in the worldwide hit "Clair de Lune" (1974), giving this work extremely high historical significance. This title receives its first-ever CD release in high-quality Blu-spec CD2 format.

Description in Japanese

スイッチト・オン・ヒット&ロック [Blu-spec CD2] / 冨田勲

1970年代、日本におけるシンセサイザー音楽黎明期の試行錯誤を記録したアルバムの中から、未CD化で現在入手困難となっている貴重作を中心に復刻するシリーズ『日本シンセサイザー音楽の曙』。全体監修は、日本のシンセサイザー・プログラマーの先駆けであり、現在は一般社団法人・日本シンセサイザープロフェッショナルアーツ名誉会員を務める松武秀樹。『スイッチト・オン・ヒット&ロック』は、シンセの巨匠・冨田勲がモーグ・シンセサイザー導入直後の1972年に洋楽カヴァーのイージーリスニング・アルバムとして発表した知る人ぞ知る作品で、オリジナル盤は4チャンネル・レコードで発売された。その制作過程で得たノウハウが後の世界的大ヒット作『月の光』(1974年)に結実したという意味で歴史的重要性は極めて高い。高品質Blu-spec CD2仕様で初CD化。
