New Daniel Wang mix cd, I think

Does anyone have reliable information on this mix CD I found whilst searching Amazon for the Idealism reissue?

Daniel Wang hasn't got a website outside of Environ Records, Discogs doesn't list the CD, and searching to find the rest of whatever series it's a part of is futile since it's on Universal (Japan, I think, but still not a label with a small enough backlist to sift through) and "Sessions" is about the most appallingly generic name possible. Seriously dodgy cover art too. But, on the other hand, the tracklisting! He's got Pink Lady, for fuck's sake!

My curiosity is seriously piqued here.

When I was in Japan 3 weeks ago, this was blowing up everywhere, almost every store had it on display.

Tower Shinjuku had wall sized posters and air-brushed t-shirts even.

track 11 is cut off in the picture, could it be "THE HUSTLE"????

first of all it's not on universal, it's on music mine. second, it's not called "sessions", it's called "come on let's fly".

third of all, i can reliably tell you this is even better than "unclassics".

the new version of Idealism is more then a reissue. some of it's been remastered/reworked. and the tray card is now yellow.

i heard it's got four extra tracks! grrrr ...

True, but it is a reissue in the conventional sense that the album has come out before. But extra tracks are always more than welcome.

first of all it's not on universal, it's on music mine.

second, it's not called "sessions", it's called "come on let's fly".

Thanks for the info- I've looked up the label and it seems the previous two mixes were by Kenji Takimi and Moodman, neither of whom I'm familiar with. The Takimi one looks promising, though.

third of all, i can reliably tell you this is even better than "unclassics".

If this is true I am going to be nigh-incoherent with glee once I track down a copy. Unclassics is one of my favorite mixes in years, and I currently have the disco fever bad.
