Nagoya's electronic instrumental band "ALL OF THE WORLD" is well-loved, even by Mr. Ichiro Yamaguchi of Sakanaction. Before forming "ALL OF THE WORLD," the members were part of the legendary trio "Helicopter." Now, their tracks will be released by Galaxy Train.

A well-known critic, Mr. Atsushi Sasaki, said, "Helicopter is Nagoya's answer to the early '90s US Lo-Fi movement, represented by artists like Lou Barlow and Half Japanese."

These 11 tracks (+4 bonus tracks) were selected from a large collection of home recordings made during their active years from 1993 to 1999. The album features fresh scum/junk sounds from their high school days, as well as melodic post-rock tracks that can be seen as prototypes for "ALL OF THE WORLD." The experimental spirit and sense of humor in these tracks, ahead of their time, will surely resonate with today's music scene.
