【 About This Album (from CD)

I've always had mysterious, exotic encounters in foreingn lands.
No matter where I go, elfin creatures I call "exotica" surface on tiptoe.
They cry out to be touched, like a trusty puppy from a bygone era.
If I touch them, they start to follow, always careful to stay at least a few centimeters bohind. When I make a quick turn in swimming pool, or dash down the hill, the images of the exoticas mesh in a complex tapestry, creating a new organism.
If an exotica is left behind, it starts a new familly on the spot.
To capture the blurred image, I hop as through dribbling a basketball.
Then another exotica that looks like a grandchild appears.

Before broadcasts polluted the atmosphere, there were countless worlds that exited only in the depths of my imagination. Lands where unicorns danced in the sky, the hips of voluptuous tanned women slid sensually over over immense serpents, freakish monks indulged in bizarre rituals, and fearless travelers gorged on exotic food in villages entranced by live-evil music.
In this place, feeling of love are so hot they boil the ocean, and heart-broken woman at the harbor shilver in winter cold. At least, this is my imaginary world.
To help them flourish, I propose Music Colonialism.
Let glamarous exoticas breed across the space-time continuum.

Jun Miyake
