As I doze off, I open the window and contemplate the universe...
Ultramarine, a pioneer of Canterbury-style jazzy, mellow electronica.

A romantic new album from a pioneer of pastoral electronica, a forerunner of bands like Boards of Canada and Four Tet.
—Tsutomu Noda (ele-king)
The best thing music can do is make people dream.
Ultramarine is an electronica duo released by Blanco y Negro, known for Everything But The Girl, in the early 90s. They bridged the gap between Robert Wyatt and Aphex Twin, the musical predecessors of Boards of Canada and Four Tet. The Japanese version of their masterpiece album released in the spring of 2019 has been released with three beautiful bonus tracks. It's a mellow electronica masterpiece that you can listen to anytime, anywhere!
