Listened to this yesterday, because I completely forgot about my own thread at some point and I remember this existed. Really solid late 70s Japanese jazz with some fusion elements. Three songs stood out to me: "Midspace Action", "Kumasan-sanpo", and "Lullaby". I have a friend who is a big Ohno fan so I'm sure he'll be happy I'm on the cusp of being a fan outside of hearing their music in stuff like Lupin over the years. Really solid record. I had a fun time with it.
3.5/5.0
For whoever posts next, obviously, because that's how this thread works:

The first synth notes have already won me over. Pure pleasure (in function heh). The opener/intro track is dancing on the edges of sweet, twee-ish indie pop and the more complex baroque pop stuff. It also sounds extremely well-polished, almost sophisti pop style, which I usually dislike but it works like a charm here. It took me some time to recover from that great opener, but in the end, despite rarely reaching the same highs, the whole album's pretty good and consistently fun and catchy. Lovely production, again being almost too polished and perfect, but never crossing the line for me. The synths are extremely tasty and strangely remind me of some 70s prog sounds (perhaps it's just the Van Der Graaf album I've listened to right before this). Jenny's voice is brilliant throughout. Love this chorus:
"I spend my days here working on my concept
Tryna have a good time, turning pages
And what I found is nothing is forever
I'm getting better as I age"
My distaste for generic indie pop of the last 20 years in well documented, but I can absolutely get behind this type of interesting, yet simple sound. High 7.5/10
Let's go with a short and explosive gem from the 90s rave scene, in hopes of starting this thread again. It's just over 20 minutes, give it a go folks.
