Yet Nova's vocal tracks were kept identical, creating this bizarre hybrid of dark European synth-pop and sparkling Tokyo idol funk. It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Lisa Sokolov Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

The slap bass player on 'Midnight Animal' is almost certainly a studio legend like Kenji Takamizu.
