Text on the cover: Still glides the stream, slow drops the boat, Under the rustling poplars' shade; Silent the swans beside us float None speaks, none heeds; Ah, turn thy head! Let those arch eyes now softly shine, That mocking mouth grow sweetly bland, Ah, let them rest, those eyes, on mine! On mine let rest thy lovely hand! From "Faded Leaves", a poem by Matthew Arnold.
Great view, I take it. Can you see the "Star" Ferries too? I had a great view yesterday, at Machu Picchu⛰, but I guess it's difficult to compare. For instance, I had no window...🤔 /J, Suécia (Cusco, Peru)🌎
Mesmerizing soundtrack. Perhaps most of people wouldn't decorate their Christmas trees while listening to this music, but it is just what I'm doing right now and it helps to create a soft atmosphere, specially because today it has snowed, and some of this album tracks lend the impression of drops of water or snowflakes falling down, falling and falling and falling...
I was just working to this and was like "ooh nice music :0 I likey-" but then river came on @16:05 and that beat drop literally made me stop in my tracks and drop what I was doing. I looked out the window of my room at the world outside. Suddenly, I was washed clean of all the things that didn't matter and basked in the grand scene of life outside of my bedroom. Overwhelmed by emotion, I stared at the trees swaying in the wind, the clouds rolling by, and the sunlight passing through the grass and felt the familiar way I used to view humans, nature, and the world creeping into my heart. The birds landed and took flight and I felt with so much determination that life is to be discovered and not something to get through as fast as possible: something to enjoy and to savour. I hadn't felt that way in a long time: like life is so big and possible. Anyways, it was a lit experience bro. 10/10...highly recommend.
This has a kind of "magical" sound, like I could imagine it as the background music for some theme park attraction where you walk around looking at wondrous things.
@@PatheticTV Oh hey, did you not play Ocarina of Time? Check out Zora's Domain music - '96, three years after this album came out. It think they hired Toshiya after hearing this! :D
bad job interviews can be so humiliating and damaging to your self-esteem :'( remember that they're often very bad at evaluating how good you are and your value as a person has nothing to do with the value you offer a company, anyway
its already nighttime here in germany. As i listen to your upload, my thoughts start drifting away in a smooth wave of sound. I looked outside my window and big snowflakes were falling from the dark sky. illuminated in the streetlaps soft and warm light.
This is the most magical music I had ever heard, thank u so much for this. I can't imagine my life without this music anymore. Saludos desde México, 🇲🇽.
The Best Channel in the Universe !!! Is it a coincidence that the Best Period in My Life 1988 - 1994 (my raw childhood) is the same period the BEST Music ever came out ????.....
listening to this serene music from seoul at the end of August. it is gonna pour out but feeling so relaxed and calm b/c of this. thanks for the upload.
Does anyone... literally, anyone, know where Toshiya's works can be legitimately bought or downloaded? I can't even see them available on less legitimate websites either.
Yet another wonderful upload, thank you so much should be asleep. I am doing not so well right now, but your music helps me find calm and more balance. You truly make an impact on people.
thank you so much sba. listening from california. still thinking about the fires, longing for rain. the sounds you upload have often helped me give form to these different feelings. keep it up!
It’s a famous sound sample called “Lore” that’s all over Korg workstation patches starting in the late 80’s. It’s usually layered in with other sounds.
This is beautiful but i feel like I’ve heard this before. I played a game called klonoa back in 2000-2001 and this music reminds me a lot of that game, beautiful album. thank you
@@minamur yeah, this is true. I know of a guy named Masahiro Andoh who wrote the music for a game called Arc The Lad I, II, III and Gran Turismo and he's part of a band called T-Square. There's a lot of similarity in some of the music there too.
Staring out my window on 5th Ave in Manhattan. The cars look like little toys. In such a crazy city I need time at night with the lights out and a nice cup of jasmine tea and this music to set the balance.
So why can't you just find these musicians on Spotify or Apple music? it's so annoying Imagine if this was properly preserved and distributed, it would give these pieces an endless lifespan
Thanks to "Jewels" i landed here. It's like experiencing heaven in sound 10:25 *Tree Drops* How can a REAL human being not love this song ? I feel special Listening to this album. Thanks *Should be asleep*

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way of contacting you about an album i found, do you have a discord?
@@TheLemonMasterYT Hey, thanks for the message, always keen to hear new old music :) I don't have discord, but you can email me at should.be.drifting@gmail.com or message me on twitter @ghost_gums
@@should_be_asleep thanks!
i messaged on twitter
This is amazing! Are the other 4 albums anywhere? I will search slseek later but I’ll save my efforts if it is likely futile.
There are few ways to make me click quicker than a Japanese water themed synth album
same
mood
🤣
...Literally.
you truly do understand, don't you
Back in the '80s and '90s, Japanese synth artists decided to invent UA-camRecommendationCore.
YT/RC for life
This is the best comment ever
This went on to inspire the creation of the video platform known as UA-cam. Incredible stuff.
Haha I love that
@@keegankonsor2182 i second this
*shakes my wife awake* babe new ambient japanese water music just dropped
Me
the lava cam n sounds go greate 2gether. h5.thx
LMAOO why is this so funny
Text on the cover:
Still glides the stream,
slow drops the boat,
Under the rustling poplars' shade;
Silent the swans beside us float
None speaks, none heeds;

That mocking mouth grow sweetly bland,
Ah, let them rest,
those eyes, on mine!
On mine let rest thy lovely hand!
From "Faded Leaves", a poem by Matthew Arnold.
One of the best poems in my opinion I've ever read...
Thanks.
What an album ! A year ago and still enjoying it.
Wish I could meet people who like this kind of music
Hugs from Cameroon 💛💛💛
Listening from Hong Kong, watching the ships sail through the Harbour from my flat. I feel a strange sense of serenity I haven't felt in a long time.
Long may the feeling last, friend.
Down with the CCP 👎

loved that completely visualized it an it made me smile

I absolutely agree
100% true

This has a kind of "magical" sound, like I could imagine it as the background music for some theme park attraction where you walk around looking at wondrous things.
Or some kind of indie RPG. heck, any kind of game could severly benefit from this
@@PatheticTV Oh hey, did you not play Ocarina of Time? Check out Zora's Domain music - '96, three years after this album came out. It think they hired Toshiya after hearing this! :D
@@ellenlapel6451 Koji Kondo was the composer for Ocarina of Time.
my grandmother in Atlantis recommended this
Me too, but from a bridge over troubled water...🙄
My favourite ambient albums are this one (Aqua), Yoshimura's Wet Land and Isoda's "With Wave"...
So now I think my element is water! :)
Your element is Earl Gray Tea
This is good to listen to after a bad job interview 😭
bad job interviews can be so humiliating and damaging to your self-esteem :'(
remember that they're often very bad at evaluating how good you are
and your value as a person has nothing to do with the value you offer a company, anyway
companies want you to feel bad so you feel like you need to make yourself fit their standards
Solidarity, pal. Your worth isn't defined by your labor. It won't always be this bad.
Work for yourself.
all of these nice replies 🥺
its already nighttime here in germany. As i listen to your upload, my thoughts start drifting away in a smooth wave of sound. I looked outside my window and big snowflakes were falling from the dark sky. illuminated in the streetlaps soft and warm light.
makes me think of that album which was produced by an aloe vera plant
Aloe Extract Sound (アロエ その不思議なサウンド)
This is the most magical music I had ever heard, thank u so much for this. I can't imagine my life without this music anymore.
Saludos desde México, 🇲🇽.
it's a joke?
*
I had the same feeling when i first heard "Three drops"
Who knew my birth year was THE year for ambient music.
this is like being at a circus underwater
This gets me to breathe and defuse my anger better than almost anything else. Thank you.
Music like this reminds me of dreams I had forgotten
The Best Channel in the Universe !!! Is it a coincidence that the Best Period in My Life 1988 - 1994 (my raw childhood) is the same period the BEST Music ever came out ????.....
Very relaxing for now just forget all your problems and enjoy this music you have good taste in music and deserve to relax for once enjoy :)
It's hard to have a favourite but "Sea" fills me with a warm glow.
listening to this serene music from seoul at the end of August. it is gonna pour out but feeling so relaxed and calm b/c of this. thanks for the upload.
This is like if Angelo Badalamenti wrote Dragon Quest music
Why is this so meditative and ethereal
The first note I herd I was like ok cool

River is pure bliss
It inspired me to compose a haiku:
The stream is cold
I sat on a patch of moss
A leaping frog lept
I swear man, this channel.... ♥️
All the layers are blended together really well. A lot of production from this era sounds dated but this sounds as great as ever.
02:26 that sound.... wow
It’s a famous sound sample called “Lore” that’s all over Korg workstation patches starting in the late 80’s. It’s usually layered in with other sounds.
@@DannyKavka A classic. Beautiful.
@@DannyKavkaThey used that sound in the new Zelda game recently
It's always a great day when you upload.
Otherworldly. Wonderful
seriously good... that was some good 1 hour healing while working. thanks!
Wonderful music to work on complex IT and software development. Thanks, it helps making the lockdown a peaceful retreat.
*Tree Drops* masterpiece 💙
This is beautiful but i feel like I’ve heard this before. I played a game called klonoa back in 2000-2001 and this music reminds me a lot of that game, beautiful album. thank you
you see a lot of influence on videogame music from ambient music
@@minamur yeah, this is true. I know of a guy named Masahiro Andoh who wrote the music for a game called Arc The Lad I, II, III and Gran Turismo and he's part of a band called T-Square. There's a lot of similarity in some of the music there too.
@@minamur Yeah they say that Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol.2 was the inspiration behind the Silent Hill soundstacks.
@@EthanMoran1999 that's really interesting, I am a big fan of both Aphex Twin and the Silent Hill soundtracks! I'll have to re-listen to SAW 2
6:30 Instantly starts talking in parseltongue.
This definitely has some mario galaxy vibes to it! Great album!
so warm synths like a kiss of mother
Staring out my window on 5th Ave in Manhattan. The cars look like little toys.
In such a crazy city I need time at night with the lights out and a nice cup of jasmine tea and this music to set the balance.
ok where has this been my entire life !!!!!????
So we meet again japanese ambient youtube algorithm
Had to download this one
Anyone else getting some strong Twin Peaks vibes?
That's an absolute masterpiece...
instant favorite
4:18 You're a wizard Harry.
Magical sounds . . .
Excellent.
I guess we’re all back
Mesmerising, enlightening and captivating, just like the real thing
💙💦💎
Reading "The Company of Wolves" by Angela Carter and this is the perfect creepy synth soundtrack for the story
I've always wanted to hear bioçic music, and now I have. Still, I don't know what it means, since there's no such word...🤔
Could you share the mp3 version? Please
When I died, and came back to life again. My second birth in life.
So why can't you just find these musicians on Spotify or Apple music? it's so annoying Imagine if this was properly preserved and distributed, it would give these pieces an endless lifespan
I agree. Music like this is the reason I don't use Spotify, cus none of these gems are on there
THE LAST TRACK IS FIRE
life of water actually

Water 🌊 💜
Thanks to "Jewels" i landed here.
It's like experiencing heaven in sound

How can a REAL human being not love this song ?
I feel special Listening to this album.

Ok time to go sleepy...
my cat is rly concerned by this
28:21 Sea
This what heaven sound like fr
august in the water vibes
Perfection doesn't ex-
plesant surprise.
hahah, I think the very opening of this album and first song is a reference to westminster chimes
oh shit sick drop at 16:35
Amazing! Thank you! I believe I hear a Korg M1 in there? Still have my M1. :)
Korg M1/Roland D50/Yamaha Dx7/Akai S950/1000
At the end I hear some PPG (Waldorf Microwave) like bells or maybe from the Ensoniq Esq. Last strings sound very Kurzweil K1200.
@@TheMerlinia Nice! Thank you for the info. :)
Yep. Thats the awesome Lore patch there at the beginning.
It reminds me of the anime film "Angel's Egg"
I had a flashback
Toshiya Sukegawa (1930-2015)
25:04 (wait till synth drop)
yea, man !
Someone have a download link to this album? Since it is very hard to find
Videoder (for Android) and other apps can help you download the audio file in good quality
I should be asleep
Ok, that's the name of the channel...so why are you saying it here? Lazy comment maybe?
wow
I'm hesitant to subscribe, because that's when yt changes the recommendations in your feed from greatest to latest from a given channel
Gives a Mario galaxy vibe subtly
Can I get this CD in mp3 file?
🙏🏼💘
♥️
…..and people listen to vapour wave music today. We have become the senseless
Hahaha really
Poor people, there is so much of these gems. Vapor just tries to emulate this movements
