Well, I've heard singer-songwriter Yuko Tomita（とみたゆう子）ply her trade in the pop and City Pop realms. This time around, I get to hear another side from her which is more along the lines of techno jazz, thanks to that battery of synthesizers behind her.
In February 1986, Tomita released her 6th and final album under Crown Records, "Moulin Rouge", although by the looks of her on the cover, perhaps it should have been titled "Stood Up at Moulin Rouge". Nope, not the happiest look on her but it's a classy shot. "Silk-Hat-Club" (no idea about the two hyphens) was written and composed by the singer as what I assume to be a sophisticated time out on the town in tux and gown...maybe with a few droids in tow. The synths are fine as they are, but I also wonder how the song would have sounded with a real jazz orchestra behind her.
