Studio Mule drops Anthologia, the final chapter of a close look on the work of the Tokyo born DJ and producer Takayuki Shiraishi, a jack of all trades, that sways through Tokyo's vast music scene since the late '70s. As part of the band BGM he released in 1980 the album Back Ground Music on Osaka based label, Vanity. In 2019, Studio Mule reissued BGM's no wave, free funk minimal treasure (STUDIOMUL 024LP). A few months earlier, Studio Mule already published Missing Link (STUDIOMUL 022LP), a thrilling retrospect on Takayuki Shiraishi's unreleased material from the late 1980s. And now Anthologia, a record that is dedicated to his work during the years 1990 to 1996, a time span, in which Shiraishi moved on to produce house, downbeat, and playful electronica. Shiraishi was also a prominent figure of Tokyo's club nightlife, DJing alongside Jeff Mills as well as krautrock icons like Holger Czukay. Anthologia features three unreleased tunes of this lapse of time, as well as highlights some work Shiraishi produced together with his friend Jun Sonohara as Musica Nova and a hidden gem he tuned in for the Isolated Audio Players 1 compilation, published by the Tokyo based Pickin' Mushroom Recordings label in 2000. The three unreleased tracks display his love for diversification. "Distant Thunder" is a drone driven ambient voyage, that slowly melds into a gentle rhythmic sensation driven by loose hi-hat patterns and a soft chord crescendo. "Lapis Lazuli" comes around as a mellow melodic downbeat trip enlarged with twisted rhythms and cosmic infiniteness. "A Voyage" shows his love for house music with a grooving arrangement that comes close to the kinky house gems of contemporary producers, like Lowtec. Also, the already known Isolated Audio Players 1 compilation tune, "Flicker" is located in the house spheres, delivering nervous jacking minimal vibes emerging from a precise produced dance of melodies, grooves, and sound effects. In comparison, the four Musica Nova tracks show again another side of Takayuki Shiraishi's many musical talents. "Birds In Paradise" is an elegant triphop tranquilizer, while tunes like "Nocturnal Tribes" and "Green On Green" express his passion for electronic arrangements that think out of the box with airy melodies, slow-motion big beat rhythms, and jazz particles. The tune "Shifting Sand" goes the same direction, while adding esoteric reverberations and a touch of drum and bass.

Soft yet supportive
Size: Queen
I have been through 4 other pillows in the last year trying to find one that supports but isn't too firm.
I gave this one a shot and am really loving it. It's soft, comfortable, supports without hurting my neck or shoulder. I am short so some pillows are too high for me. I'm mainly a siide sleeper, this pillow is great as I can place my head anywhere not just middle of very end like the other pillows I was trying. I can sink into it a little yet still have support and it doesn't crush down.
It comes with more filler but haven't needed it. I put it in the dryer on ultra delicate when I first got it and it fluffed nicely.
Very happy with this product as I am now getting more sleep.

Absolutely in love with this pillow!
Size: King, Size: King
I’m so excited about this purchase — this pillow turned out to be amazing! I’m a side sleeper most of the time, and the way the edges are designed makes it incredibly comfortable and supportive. What really surprised me is that even when I slept on my back (which I normally don’t like), I felt super comfortable. I actually woke up still lying on my back — and that never happens! I know it’s healthier to sleep that way, so I’m really happy about that and hope it becomes a new habit.
Before this, I tried a few regular memory foam pillows, but they always felt too firm and my neck would get tired. This one, with the shredded memory foam, is so soft and cozy — it molds perfectly without feeling lumpy. The King size is perfect too — my little Pomeranian loves to rest his tiny head next to mine on the pillow. I don’t know why he does that, but it’s adorable.
And I have to mention the packaging — the box was so high-quality and beautifully made that I just couldn’t throw it away. I’m definitely keeping it to store something in.
Overall, I’m super happy with this pillow and will be ordering a second one soon. I only got one to test it out, but now I’m totally convinced. Thank you for such an awesome product!

This is Truly the Best Pillow!
Size: Queen
This is the side sleeper version of the best pillow out there.
My 26 year old son was always complaining about his pillow and his neck and back hurting. About every year I’d buy him the next “best” pillow promising to be the best but they never worked for him. I read an article saying THIS pillow was the “Goldilocks” of pillows. So since he sleeps in all positions, I got him the regular shaped pillow. The next morning after his first night with the pillow, he came out of his room talking about how wonderful his pillow is. Same thing the next morning. And the next. And the next. Then I thought to myself, my current pillow is the best I’ve had but I’m not in love with it. But I’m a side sleeper so I purchased this particular contoured pillow for me. NOW I UNDERSTOOD WHAT MY SON WAS TALKING ABOUT. I became the person who went on and on about my pillow. Until my husband told me to replace his with one of these side sleeping versions for himself. And he loves it. Then we got a regular pillow (for those who sleep in all positions, but this same company) for our guests. My best friend came to visit, immediately noticed the pillow upgrade from previous visits and when she returned home, she purchased one for herself.
This pillow is like a feather pillow except it is filled with tiny squares of memory foam. And it comes with an extra pack of stuffing, so you can add or remove stuffing to customize it perfectly for you. None of us in the house added filling, and my son removed some that came with his pillow. I also sleep with a body pillow and have for years. And I was wishing this came in a body pillow version until I realized I could make my own. I bought a zippered body pillow case. The larger size. I think it was 54 inches long. And I bought a king size pillow and used the extra stuffing pack that came with that pillow along with the 4 packs that came with the other pillows that we didn’t use. Though you could probably do the same thing with two standard size pillows. These pillows are on the expensive side but they go on sale during every holiday. That’s when I purchase them. Oh and my body pillow is HEAVEN. Between that and the pillow, I spend my nights in fluffy cloud goodness.
