Cochin Moon
1978.9.21 King Record Co. lp: SKS-28
Superb. Way ahead of its time with trance-like synths and exotic world colors. The album is co-credited to famous pop (graphic) artist Tadanori Yokoo, who did the cover, but seemingly neither wrote nor played on it. Ryuichi Sakamoto plays synths also and his playing style is evident. Hideki Matsutake, who would later do the sequencer work for YMO and front the synth-based band, Logic System, programs the sequencer here. A brilliant album. This is the first album that sounds like the Hosono we are used to.
SADLY OUT OF PRINT since the mid 90s. There must be some kind of rights licensing problem as this is perhaps the most notable YMO member related album to have been out of print a very long time. Track 4 was included on the Hosono Box collection in 2000.
