Spacy, originally released in 1977, boasts an impressive lineup of Japanese legends including Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Minako Yoshida, Kenji Ohmura, and Hiroshi Sato. The album features all the usual Yamashita elements, such as euphoric vocals, innovative string arrangements, glistening keyboards, and funky guitar riffs, but the rhythms on this one are a little more forceful.
