By the mid-1980s, after his prolific creative output—both with groups like THE IT and FINGERS INC. and under solo monikers such as MR. FINGERS and GHERKIN JERKS—had begun to settle down, he released this well-rounded masterpiece of an album, which sought a style somewhat removed from the club scene of the time and featured both high listenability and rich storytelling. Centered around the “KORG-01/W” synthesizer released in 1991, it offers a glimpse into a more universal cosmic perspective. Woven primarily from downtempo and ambient sounds, this is a relaxed and soothing “sound novel” that seems to lead directly into the worldview of the later Larry Hard. Features the timeless classic “The Dance Of Planet X”!
