Air Suspension Club Band -- Daydream

 

Let us hope that it's the type of day outside today where you can be like Mr. Calico above and just sip an iced coffee while whiling away the time peacefully at a stylish café in the big city.

Having this as your musical accompaniment isn't bad either. It's been nearly five years since I posted the most recent entry for the obscure Japanese fusion group Air Suspension Club Band, and the last time I did so was to provide information on their energetic "Seaside in the Twilight" track from their 1982 album "Another World"

I found out on Tower Records that "Seaside in the Twilight" had been released as a single and its B-side is the subject of this article. "Daydream" sounds perfect for the title as it's far more chill and it's tempting to go into lazy gaze mode while slowly savoring that iced coffee. I was able to find out that the song was composed and arranged by Mr. Theodore (sounds either like the name of a James Bond thug or a butler) that could actually represent the entire band. Anyways, for KKP City Pop fans, enjoy another Urban Contemporary Friday today with a bit of relaxation in mind.
