Recorded March-May 1981 at Studio “A” (Tokyo), Air Studios (London) and Gallery Studio (Chertsey). “Fans Of Takahashi's Style As A Member Of YMO Won't Be Disappointed In This First Post-YMO Release, Which Features Solid, Clever Songwriting, Takahashi's Usual Silvery, Squooshy Vocals, And Sharp, Programmed Keyboards And Beats. Technically A Solo Album, Both Ryuichi Sakamoto And Harry Hosono Lend A Hand, As Does Stalwart YMO Sessionman Kenji Omura, And The Band's Western Lyricists Peter Barakan And Chris Mosdell. More Surprising Are The Appearances By Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera And Andy Mackay, Lending Guitar And Sax To Half The Tracks. Stylistically, The Album Is A Companion Piece To YMO's Technodelic (From The Same Year), Sharing Much Of The Same Sound And Feel. "Drip Dry Eyes" Could Be A Roxy Music Number, And Not Because Of The Guest Stars, While "Extraordinary" And "Glass" Are Excellent Techno-Pop In Its Earliest Incarnation. And The Ending Number "Something In The Air" Is A Beautiful Up-Tempo Ballad Like "Cue" From BGM. A Satisfying Album.” All Music Guide - Ted Mills. more

	Tomorrow's Just Another Day Used Import - YLR 28009 Beautiful 1983 Japanese Original With Custom Foldout Insert And Obi. Vinyl Appears Glossy. “Takashi Switched To Yen Records, A Subsidiary Of Alfa Japan, For This Rather Straight-Ahead Pop Album. That Being Said, The Lack Of Studio Trickery Or Any Need To Hook Up With Western Rock Stars (Apart From Usual Suspect Bill Nelson) Seems To Focus Takahashi's Attention On Writing Some Hummable Melodies, With Several Dips Into The Inkwells Of Lennon, '60s Girl Groups, And The British Invasion To Supply The Inspiration (Though Not The Sound, Which Is Typically Synth-Driven New Wave). Instrumental Influences Come By Way Of Barry White, Sitar Rock, And Northern Soul. "Coincidence" Leads Off Side Two With Its Striking Wall-Of-Sound Production, Its Nods To "Strawberry Fields Forever," And The Kind Of Sequenced Propulsion That Marks His Best Work In YMO; It Stands Out As The Most Successful Track Here.” All Music Guide - Ted Mills. more
