This is a new recording by Yasushi Ide. It is his first piece of new music released under his own name in 8 years. It is 36 minute, epic, musical extravaganza that takes the listener on an incredible array of musical dimensions of Jazz, house, reggae, dub, techno, Afro, etc.! It also hosts an all-star cast of Japanese and international artists' friends of his that only he can call upon for this explosive recording, starting from Jeff Mills, Osunlade, Mutabaruka, Gota Yashiki, Hideo Yamaki, Nobuyuki Nakajima, Watusi, Calm, etc. As the title suggests, it is a cosmic suite that was destined to be born in this improbable year of Covid 19, 2020!
