Description:

The latest work by the Neuromatic nobleman, Yukihiro Takahashi, who was popular as a follower of David Bowie in the 80's. Following "The Helden Project//Spies" (2022), the new work by Zain Griff, a nobleman of the Neuromatic world, was produced in memory of Yukihiro Takahashi, a close friend and mutual solo artist. The new album was produced in mourning for the death of Yukihiro Takahashi, with whom Zain had worked on each other's solo albums as an ally. Zain said of Takahashi's death, "I was very sad to hear of Yukihiro's passing. It was wonderful to record with him, compose for him, play bass for him, and sing with him. Although the album was inspired by his death, its tone is not tragic, but rather optimistic and positive. The album is centered around Zain's own compositions, but is also colored by 80s elepop covers such as "This Strange Obsession," which he provided to Yukihiro Takahashi, YMO's "Isshin Telegraph," David Bowie's "Blue Jean," and Gary Numan's "Cars.Also of note is the inclusion of Martin Ware of the popular 80s UK elepop group Human League/Heaven 17 as a remixer.
