Have given Tokyo a few dedicated (almost) listens. Nice album. Different (obviously!) to [Distance], and I don't find as much pleasure in it, but I really like it.

I loved [Distance] on first listen and have come to like Tokyo quite a lot after a few. My respect has grown. I think your description of Tokyo is accurate; I think it less consistent than [Distance] and it lacks what made [Distance] special: that subtle larger scale propulsion that I fell into. Tokyo retains some subtlety, seems to reflect the different sensations of a large city nicely, and has an attractive (but not overt) kinetic spaciousness at times. I like it. Now, if only it was available in CD-quality audio (or better).

Edit: cleaned up and clarified.

Cheers
Raymond
