The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines. 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? -- Pavel Karlsson Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 19,200 bps "Marcus is not one man."
