When I knew that I was going to do this article, I couldn't help but going to Bing once more to see if I could concoct up something that would be reminiscent of Cloud City on Bespin or that other city in the clouds from the "Star Trek" episode "The Cloud Minders". Well, it's not too, too bad.
It's been six months since I last posted something on bassist Tetsuo Sakurai（櫻井哲夫）, and up to now, his music has all been from his 1986 solo debut album "Dewdrops?". Not that "Dewdrops?" is a bad thing by any means, but I had been wondering about some other aspects of his discography. Fortunately, I was able to find his 2001 album "Gentle Hearts", and yep, it is indeed quite the temporal leap ahead.
One track on the album is "Wonderland in the Sky" which is one mighty dance across the atmosphere, powered by the electric guitar of Greg Howe and the drums of Dennis Chambers. The 7 1/2 minutes don't let up for a moment and it really feels like one is getting the tour of a lifetime on Bespin via one of those skypods. You might say that the skypod is fusion-powered...ha ha.
