Ryuichi Sakamoto's fourth album, widely regarded as a masterpiece
This album is a collection of bleached sounds that were played freely and spontaneously without any concept after Yellow Magic Orchestra. It was produced by Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, Kenji Omura, Toshinori Kondo, Tatsuro Yamashita, Yasuaki Shimizu, Yoshiaki Shirai of Moonriders and Masahiro Takekawa.
There are plenty of highlights, including the reggae "Paradise Lost" featuring steel pan player Yan Tomita. "The remastering engineer is the one and only recording engineer, Seigen Ono, who participated in Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and worked on the show music for Com Garcon, and this is a masterpiece with no bad songs.
