Grows on me with each listen. When I first heard it it didn't leave much of an impression on me and I quickly put it back on the shelf. But every time I pull it back off the shelf I like it more and more.
The sound reminds me heavily of YMO in their BGM phase, mixed with the pop sensibilities of their Naughty Boys album. It's not a prefect album for sure but I like Takahashi's personality throughout, he is probably the soppiest and most song orientated member of YMO and it comes through here. Tracks like Connection, Glass and Drip Dry Eyes are simply fun listens while tracks like New (Red) Roses add a bit of variety and act as nice diversions. This is basically another YMO album focused around Takahashi's songwriting. The album features Hosana and Sakamoto throughout as well as Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay (both of Roxy Music) and New Musik's Tony Mansfield.
