Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his departure from the legendary synth-pop group Denki Groove, the Japanese producer delivered a meticulously crafted, highly conceptual retro-futuristic solo effort. Inspired by the golden age of air travel, the record flawlessly synthesizes vintage 1970s lounge exotica with modern, heavily rhythmic downtempo and breakbeat electronic programming.
