Cibo Matto's second release on Warner Brother Records was the
mini CD titled, "Super Relax". The second CD could be
considered an extended re-mix album as it contains four different
versions of the song "Sugar Water" (originally appeared
on the Viva! La Woman album).
Yuka Honda took on production of most of the material for the
album. She was assisted by Mario Caldato Jr. in some of the songs
production, and Mike D. of the "Beastie Boys" helped
produced one of the mixes of Sugar Water.
Miho
went ballistic on a live version of the song "BBQ",
and then sang the part of an international siren in her subtle
handling of Antonio Carlos Jobim's song "Aguas de Marco."
The song, Aguas de Marco, was sung in Portuguese. A happy go lucky
version of a Rolling Stones song, "Sing This All Together",
gave the album an even greater dimension. Super Relax further
defined Cibo Matto as a multi talented band with diverse musical
styles.
As
they began work on this studio project, they brought Sean Lennon
farther into the Cibo Matto fold. Cibo Matto relied on the same
successful formula that had created the Via! La Woman CD to produce
their mini CD, "Super Relax". This CD was released in
1997. Sean joined Miho and Yuka in the studio to provide the bass
lines on most of the CD's cuts.
Now
this Limited Edition CD is a much treasured and sought after prize
of Cibo Matto fans.
