Aerobics vinyl

Japanese pair Yuji Toriyama & Ken Morimura pionerred the so-called 'heath-fitness' sound with this sensational 1982 album Aerobics. It was put together by the Nippon Aerobic Association who wanted music to help lock people into their aerobics classes on the TBS channel. An original copy has become a much sought after classic that brims with irresistible 80s energy, fusing disco kicks with glossy synth work, electronic funk and future soul on eight magical tracks. This reissue on Spain's Glossy Mistakes features the original tarcklist in all its glory. Each track brims with funky guitar, hurried analogue drum programming and a sense unbridled optimism that will quicken anyone's heart rate. It's just the right mix of fun, sentimentality, musicality and good times.
