Welcome once again to Urban Contemporary Friday on KKP. First off, I have to give my kudos to the photographer behind the album cover for keyboardist Mikio Masuda's（益田幹夫）1980 album "Silver Shadow". I will always love shots of the skyscrapers of West Shinjuku, and they take on a new look in that fogginess behind the beaming Masuda himself.
One track on "Silver Shadow" is the manic "Sonic Barrier" which for some reason sounds like something Santana would create and play. It does sound as if a newly-created jet fighter were trying to break Mach 1. For that matter, some of that guitar and chorus work near the end had me even thinking of some of those SHOGUN arrangements. Give thanks to the vocal chorus group Freezer along with Masuda on the keyboards and Kenji Takamizu（高水健司）on bass.
