DESCRIPTION :
Japanese crossover/fusion is hot again! As a spinoff or an extension of the global boom in city pop, Japanese fusion has been on the rise since last year.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary, Casiopea decided to leave their longtime label, Alpha Records, and launch their own label, Aura, under Polydor (now Universal Music), releasing their first album since then. Recorded in New York, they introduced the sharp dance beats that were popular at the time. This album features a fresh start, featuring lively grooves. The band's guests include popular Brazilian singer-songwriter Djavan, whom they met on a South American tour the previous year; percussionist Steve Thornton, who has performed with Miles Davis and Sadao Watanabe; and renowned saxophonist Lenny Pickett, formerly of Tower of Power. (Original release: 1987)
Remastered & Cut by Katsutoshi Kitamura (Mixer's Labo)
