Breeze was one of three studio albums that Atlas released in the 1980s.

The band featured Eiji Kawamura, Toshiro Imaizumi and Hiroyuki Namba, who was also a member of video game company SNK’s in-house sound team.

Breeze‘s reissue follows Studio Mule’s Midnight in Tokyo Vol. 1 compilation, a collection of Japanese disco, boogie and soul music out 26th January.

Mule Music also released Kuniyuki Takahashi’s New Wave Project, one of our favourite albums of 2017.
