Other highlights include Track 2, “You Never Did Understand,” with its striking bassline and slightly faster BPM; Track 3, “Save Our Planet,” featuring a beautiful intro that seems to give voice to the collective unconscious and carries a message still relevant today; Track 4, “I’m Here And Here I’ll Stay,” with its pleasant rhythm machine beat; Track 5, “Start Worrying (Use Your Brain),” distinguished by its unique rhythm pattern; and the closing masterpiece, Track 6 “When You Call My Name,” featuring a delicate voice shrouded in deep echoes that seem to emerge from the mist—a track you’ll want to listen to forever. This collection brings together tracks that can be considered a valuable record of Japan’s early club music and electro sound scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recording features Shin Otsu, now an indispensable guitarist for PGF, longtime musical friend Naoko Eto, and DJ BABY TOKIO (Nobuyoshi Sekine).

It is truly the reissue the world has been waiting for.
