about

This EP contains six tracks which were previously released as three 7 inch singles in 2003 and not have been available for almost two decades. Emerson Kitamura played his favorite songs from different times and places with his organ equipped with bass pedals, only accompanied by the legendary drum box TR-808. The musical style that makes him unique has been already apparent in these tracks, which would later build up his solo works known as "Emer-Solo". Despite the fact that this EP doesn't contain original songs it is such an important work which you can find his musical essence through it.
