Extensively chronicling the solo career of the former Japan frontman, this retrospective covers thirty years of sophisticated art pop and ambient experimentation. The collection highlights his collaborative work with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Robert Fripp, showcasing a consistent evolution from 1980s new wave into impossibly lush, introspective avant-garde balladry. It is widely considered the ultimate overview of his uncompromising and deeply beautiful musical vision.
