Whatever here. That might have been the Hosono/Takahashi project, Sketch
Show : Audio Sponge.(Daisyworld - Hosono is resurrecting the label).
Sounds quite a bit like mid 80s YMO rather than the circa 1993 project,
Technodon .Both styles are ones I like...I would highly recommend digging
up Technodon, Technodelic (YMO 1981/2) and Naughty Boys (1985ish YMO) as
well as any number of Hosono projects, like Philharmony, SFX and if you
like ambient, Mercuric Dance. Lots of great Sakamoto to be found...B2 Unit
among them.
I can crap on way too long about J-Pop, so I will stop now.

My suggestion would be to email Mr. Okhura at Comfort with a list of what
you want. He'll get back with what's there, costs, postage, etc. His email
is ohkura@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp . VERY reliable and he takes paypal. You
can't escape those nasty airmail charges from Japan, though.

Restless records actually DID release some of the old Alfa stock several
years ago, but I believe they are also oop now.
If you find 'em, Multiplies and BGM are also quite nice.
