Fully authorised release of an unreleased and extended mix of the very first cassette by the late Akifumi Nakajima aka AUBE on Vanilla, composed in 1993 using water sounds only.

"Originally, the plan was to re-release the Hydrophobia tape as a CD, this was around 2001-2. When Akifumi came back to me he said the tape was only a one-sided C-30, so he sent me the remix he did of the piece from 1993 that he never released, to make it a better length for a CD. He titled the original piece Hydrophobia 1991 and the remix Hydrophobia 1993 and sent me the artwork for the CD. A little while after this I decided to stop Cheeses Int., so the project was shelved. Last year I restarted my activities but as Akifumi had sadly died in the interim I thought that it would never see the light of day. However, I found the guy to ask for permission and he said yes. My only regret is that Akifumi isn't here to see it" (Steve Fricker).

As the original 1991 Vanilla cassette was still available, the 1993 remix gets its own deluxe edition, re-mastered by Phil Julian with covers designed by Abby Helasdottir (Gydja) based on the original artwork supplied by Akifumi Nakajima. Ltd x 319 copies on blue vinyl.
