Yukihiro Takahashi has died.  He may have been the most intelligent drummer in the history of rock and roll.  Quite the techie braniac.

For this early solo record he imported some side-men from Roxy Music, halfway round the world.  That lonesome saxophone and weird guitar sound like arrivals from another planet.  The English-language lyrics are also quite cryptic and astral.

Forty years later and it sounds more like a philosophy statement than a pop album.
