Hiroshi Sato - Time [Clear Deep Blue Vinyl]

Hiroshi Sato's second album, produced with an ironclad lineup including Haruomi Hosono, Akihiro Tanaka, Kenji Takamizu, Tatsuo Hayashi, Shuichi "Ponta" Murakami, Pekka, Nobu Saito, Hirofumi Tokutake, Tadao Yoshikawa, and others.
In addition to rich mellow tunes such as "The Last Magic Trick," "South Return Line," and "Yamanote Hotel," which Nanako Sato also sang on, the funky "Bad Junkie Blues" is also excellent.
