Description:

An unreleased album by Ernest Hood, which was made at the same time as "NEIGHBORHOODS", has been unearthed and released in Japan! This unreleased album, which was made at the same time as Pitchfork's "Top 50 Best Ambient Albums" in 1975, has been unearthed and released! The album was reissued by FREEDOM TO SPEND under the umbrella of RVNG INTL. as a phantom work of delusional ambient music, and the analog copies were sold out immediately. Ernest Hood's unreleased "BACK TO THE WOODLANDS," which was produced at the same time as "NEIGHBORHOODS," exists! This lost album has been restored from the original tapes, remastered, and released to the public! Like "NEIGHBORHOODS", "BACK TO THE WOODLANDS" blends zither, synthesizer, flute, and field recordings to create a "handmade new age/ambient" sound that was created too early. I'm surprised that such a wonderful unreleased work has been lying dormant.While "NEIGHBORHOODS," based on field recordings made during an extensive trip to Oregon, evokes nostalgia by recording the traces of human activity in the form of sound, this album is different from its predecessor in that much of the material was recorded from nature. The CD version also includes another previously unreleased work, WHERE THE WOODS BEGIN, which was recorded at the same time.
