After giving up on ever hearing this album, thinking it\u2019d either got lost in transit or disappeared into a black hole in our home, Teresa recently found the CD. Still unopened, in its cardboard postal envelope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I\u2019ve unwrapped it, and today, finally, played it. And, I\u2019ll be dog-goned, it hasn\u2019t disappointed. In looking for some info on it online, I found the following review. Normally I\u2019d want to write my own. But this nails it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018A deeply pleasing sensation arises when terrific cover art not only fully delivers on the music, but also bears a distinct resemblance to it. Ryo Kawasaki\u2019s 1976 jazz-funk album Juice<\/em><\/strong> is one such record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright and refreshing like a piece of citrus, peel the skin back and you\u2019ll find an electric fantasyland of traversing wires and circuits. Over the course of its seven tracks, the visually sci-fi-tinged world of Juice feels at once perfectly of its time, yet remains delightfully vital in 2022.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so it\u2019s 2024 now. But that\u2019s as true now as it was in 2022. Ryo-san, and cohorts\u2026 we thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
