The unique worldview of PGF—which evolved independently under the influence of post-punk and UK dance culture—was already firmly established at this early stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA highlight of this release is the inclusion of the prototype version (alternative guitar version) of Track 1, “Hardly Ever Smile (Without You),” widely regarded as an ambient pop classic. Other highlights include Track 2, “You Never Did Understand,” with its striking bassline and slightly faster BPM; Track 3, “Save Our Planet,” featuring a beautiful intro that seems to give voice to the collective unconscious and carries a message still relevant today; Track 4, “I’m Here And Here I’ll Stay,” with its pleasant rhythm machine beat; Track 5, “Start Worrying (Use Your Brain),” distinguished by its unique rhythm pattern; and the closing masterpiece, Track 6 “When You Call My Name,” featuring a delicate voice shrouded in deep echoes that seem to emerge from the mist—a track you’ll want to listen to forever. This collection brings together tracks that can be considered a valuable record of Japan’s early club music and electro sound scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe recording features Shin Otsu, now an indispensable guitarist for PGF, longtime musical friend Naoko Eto, and DJ BABY TOKIO (Nobuyoshi Sekine). This is a valuable work documenting the scene on the eve of PGF. Originally released exclusively on CD in 1991, this marks the first-ever release on vinyl LP. It is truly the reissue the world has been waiting for. The re-release of this rare, first indie work—which had become extremely difficult to find—can truly be called a major event.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e1.HARDLY EVER SMILE(without you) words \u0026amp; music by nOrikO\u003cbr\u003e2.YOU NEVER DID UNDERSTAND words \u0026amp; music by nOrikO\u003cbr\u003e3.SAVE OUR PLANET words by nOrikO\/Yuka Koyuki music by nOrikO\u003cbr\u003e4.I’M HERE AND HERE I’LL STAY words by noriko music by noriko\/Naoko Eto\u003cbr\u003e5.START WORRYING（USE YOUR BRAUN） words \u0026amp; music by nOrikO\u003cbr\u003e6.WHEN YOU CALL MY NAME words \u0026amp; music by nOrikO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIMINAL Music Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52446765220152,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/4280\/2232\/files\/unnamed.jpg?v=1780372072","url":"https:\/\/liminalmusic.shop\/products\/poison-girl-friend-poison-girl-friends-cd","provider":"LIMINAL Music Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
