Hideki Matsutake, the brain behind Logic System is well known to most Yellow Magic Orchestra fans – some call him even the inofficial band member #4 responsible for effects and electronics. For me a good reason to buy the records Logic, Venus, and Orient Express on vinyl in the 80’s. 20 years later I remembered this three little gems (I know, there are later Logic System albums but I only have 1991’s To Gen Kyo of these). Sure I needed to hunt them…
On Orient Express I especially like track #3 Simoon. This is a cover of the Yellow Magic Orchestra classic found on 1978 debut album Yellow Magic Orchestra. I prefer the female voice singing over the vocoder of the original. The other tracks on the CD are no covers of YMO. They are written in the mood of some travel with the famous train of the same name. So if you like YMO, then chances are good that you will also fall in love with Logic System.
