Tokyo's Coolest Sound

WITS was a Shibuya-kei label that in its early years mainly focused on releases by L⇔R (a band of which Minekawa Takako was a member for some time), Spiral Life, and also Minekawa Takako's early solo career ("Chit Chat", "(A Little Touch of) Baroque in Winter"). The label, which still shows some activity in the last few years under the name "witz", is now celebrating its 20th anniversary with the release of this compilation.

Here the 1st CD contains early previously released works by the artists above, while the 2nd CD is of rare previously unreleased live recordings. The "Vol.3" in the title refers to the previous compilations released on the label in 1994 and 1998.
