@flargh@mastodon.social @octothorpe@mastodon.online Even at the time it was a pretty hard turn from The Color of Spring, and a long wait. I remember being pretty surprised, at the time. Reminded me a lot of what David Sylvian did post-Japan around the same time. And it's not like Da Yoots know about David Sylvian...
