ALBUM REVIEW
This album was his 5th release for the label, recorded with a Jazz oriented ensemble featuring his wife Hisako Yamash`ta on violin, guitarists Gary Boyle (Isotope) and Tsuneo Matsumoto, keyboardist Brian Gascoigne, bassist Daito Fujita and drummer Hozumi Tanaka. Also featured were two vocalists: Maxine Nightingale and Murray Head. The music is a wonderful fusion of Western and Far Eastern elements as well as many cross genre excursions, from atmospheric ambient to high spirited Jazz-Rock Fusion. One track from this album were later included as part of the soundtrack of the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth", starring David Bowie, which made this album a sought after collector's item.
