Freedom to Spend Unearths June Chikuma's Archives

Jun (June) Chikuma is well known for her video game and anime soundtracks, but she also released an album of experimental electronic music back in 1986 called Divertimento where she indulged the kind of spontaneity that wouldn't work in a soundtrack. RVNG Int'l label Freedom to Spend is bringing this overlooked item to broader attention with a deluxe reissue.

June Chikuma Les Archives cover artLes Archives features the original tracks along with some never-before-released recordings from the album sessions that didn't make the final cut. The physical edition features an LP with a 7" single containing two extra tracks. The digital edition features all seven tracks.

From the press release:

Chiikuma’s neon-vibrant aesthetic would be at home soundtracking films like After Hours or Teknolust. However, Les Archives is the score for a movie of mistaken identity – clones redressed in a guise of the artist’s re-coding. The legitimate artifact deceives history. There is no original, but this copy is singular and complete.
