about

One from the wish-list, this, as opposed to one from the “been there” list.

I’ve always wanted to see Japan, especially Tokyo. I have a huge need to experience the madness of the place, the lights, gadgetry, the people, the almost totally alien culture.

I must admit that images from ‘Blade Runner’ were firmly in my head when I was putting this together, although I did have a large collection of snaps of the real night-time Tokyo as an inspiration.

This is what’s in my head when I dream of a high-speed journey through Tokyo on a train at night, with the velocity of the train blurring everything into an insane rush of lights and indiscernible structures. I imagine it’d be better than drugs…and I hope it’s a journey I can make happen at some point.

Beth supplied the “Aah” vocal choir in the middle of the track, by the way…that loveliness is all her.

Enjoy.
