Ide, Yasuhi - Lonesome Echo LP

This is the debut solo album by music producer Yasushi Ide, originally released in 1995. A timeless classic still beloved today, it features a reggae-infused cover of Bill Withers’ Ain’t No Sunshine, showcasing reggae legends U-Roy and Ken Boothe. Also included is a spoken word track featuring none other than Hollywood actor Viggo Mortensen, long before his rise to international fame.

Blending rock and dub, the album unfolds like a road movie—cinematic, atmospheric, and deeply immersive.
