Description

This is the Shinkansen, a classic train making a classic journey through Japan. Welcome aboard.

Ditching eccojams for vaportrap, hypnagogic pop and ambient influences, Shinkansen is a far cry from vapour producer Kappa's previous efforts- the acclaimed Hi-Poly Lime Pool and Canarias Virtua duology. However, this ambitious and conceptual project combines samples with original compositions to create a dense, varied yet focused album that is sure to delight any fan of vapour new or old.
