Sublime ethereal minimalism from Hiroyuki Onogawa on this retrospective compilation album for Mana, the first dedicated release and remaster of his soundtrack compositions. The album 'August In The Water: Music For Film 1995-2005' plots a decade of Onogawa's compositions for films by the renowned filmmaker Gakuryu Ishii (formally known as Sogo Ishii). This retrospective publication, sequenced into an album by Onogawa himself, spans a fertile period of collaboration with Ishii, through soundtracks for three remarkable films: 'August In The Water' (1995), 'Labyrinth Of Dreams' (1997), and 'Mirrored Mind' (2005). Each feels texturally and sensually linked with the spiritual, ambient, dreamlike quality that lingers in Onogawa's music.
