It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- === Göran Park === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "The hatch is open.
