Inoyama Land were Makoto Inoue and Yasushi Yamashita, both formerly of the techno-pop and avant-garde group Hikashu. Their debut came out in 1983 on Medium, a subsidiary of Haruomi Hosono's Yen label, with Hosono producing. It was recorded between 1982 and 1983 in private studios in Kichijōji and Yugawara, and on five tracks Hosono applied his "Water Delay System", with microphones and speakers placed in a tank of water. On "Glass Chaim" and "Mizue" the meditative synth layers seem to blur and waver through it, and the whole record keeps the intimacy of home recording alongside an early-electronica feel. A meeting point of new wave and Japanese ambient, here as a 1983 original pressing.
