Closer came up on shuffle the other day and I've always liked that one but otherwise no, good bump. Middle section is so good and I wanna hear it

been going through her albums post-Aventure and it's pretty consistent - the benefit of having Ryuichi Sakamoto as her sideman I suppose, even after she ditched the funkier stuff for more weird electronic and baroque sounds

I'm way overdue a Sakamoto trawl, might check Taeko's debut and use that as a stepping stone. Did she have the same crack squad of collab buddies on that one?

For the most part, it's the same lineup but the real consistent on the early albums and well into her European period was Ryuichi, which was up until Cliche, IIRC. Grey Skies is a lot more similar to the Sugar Babe album, but it has this slight hint of experimentation going for it ('When I Met the Grey Sky' has this absolutely disjointed rhythm section). Copine is picking up a bit more steam on RYM, unsurprising since that one has this odd electronics/new wave thing going on. Ought to update the data on her page when I have the time since it cuts off by 1986 and is missing a few albums before that as well.



*Correction: Sakamoto was involved in every one of her albums up until the end of the 80s, in which he then moved to New York, thereon his appearances were more sporadic.
