This was a promo record produced at the time to promote the latest synthesizer, the GS1, and to commemorate Speaker Cafe.
Produced in 1981 for the promotion of Yamaha's synthesizer GS1. Features Keiko Doi (keyboards), Yayoi Hirabe (keyboards), NATHAN EAST (bass), STEVE FORMAN (percussion), and VINCE COLAIUTA (drums).
This is a promotion for the latest synthesizers and speakers, and the sound quality is quite high. It is a work that can be enjoyed as Jazz Funk/Fusion, with tracks such as the groovy mid-tempo "NICE TALKING TO YOU" and "HOW NICE WE ARE!", which features a dizzying array of synthesizer sounds and a long percussion section with a drum break in the middle.
