The theme of this exceptional album is the beautiful South Pacific sea, with music written byHaruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki and Tatsuro Yamashita. At this time Haruomi Hosono was just in the middle of preparing forYMO, and the three songs he was in charge of were produced byRyuichi Sakamoto, Yukihiro Takahashi, and a few others. It’s a wonderful combination of early electronic instruments and exotic sounds. “Cosmic Surfing”, which was later included in YMO’s debut albumYellow Magic Orchestra, appears for the first time on this album.
