DANCE MEDITATION INTO THIS WORLD – AND THE NEXT?

Built around a driving bass line that would feel at home on a Duran Duran or Peter Murphy album, “Afterlife” shimmers with layered, harmonized vocals and lush synthesizers. Boasting a modernized but deeply authentic 80’s sound, lyrically “Afterlife” explores the electric highs, shattering lows, and profound longing of living in a foreign land.

This is a new, ambitious recording of “Afterlife”. The original recording was released on the Global Vision indie compilation “For My Urban Life” and sold several thousand copies in the underground Tokyo music scene.

“Afterlife” was mastered by Paul Gomersall, recording engineer for Trevor Horn’s renowned label ZTT, engineer for Howard Jones’ U.S. #1 single “No One Is to Blame”, and recording engineer for artists that include Kate Bush, Genesis, Echo & the Bunnymen, Propaganda, Chapterhouse, and Prefab Sprout.

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR “AFTERLIFE”:

“Fluid Japan’s “Afterlife” is super hot. Fluid (indeed) dronetrancefunk of a high order. Like hearing prime Simple Minds back when [bassist] Derek Forbes was leading them by the nose.” – Post-Punk Monk, music reviewer.

“Fluid Japan’s “Afterlife” is a great song; deep in sound and meditative.” – Satomi Hayashi, radio personality, Feather Clouds radio program on Tokyo FM 83.6 Urayasu

“Among the stand-outs are the electronic explorations of [Fluid Japan’s] “Afterlife” – Tokyo Classified / Metropolis magazine review of “For My Urban Life” compilation CD

“Afterlife. One of my favorite songs ever; shivers down the spine.” – Jan Linton, recording artist who has collaborated and recorded with Thomas Dolby/Thompson Twins/David Bowie bassist Matthew Seligman, regular Brian Eno guitarist Leo Abrahams, and Porcupine Tree/Japan keyboardist Richard Barbieri.

“I FUCKING love this! It's like if Peter Murphy and Depeche Mode made a baby.” – Steph, Fluid Japan fan
