  1. Fantastic Plastic Machine - Luxury (1998)

    Luxury is the second studio album by Japanese musician Fantastic Plastic Machine. It was released on September 10, 1998, by Readymade Records. The album was released in Germany on March 29, 1999, by Bungalow Records and in the United States on April 27, 1999, by Emperor Norton Records.

    Luxury is a continuation of Fantastic Plastic Machine’s previous work in Shibuya-kei, though in some tracks there are indications of a shift towards house music with 1960s northern soul and 1970s Philadelphia soul influences, a path he explored more on his next album Beautiful. Luxury features guest vocals from Lorraine Bowen, Simon Fisher Turner, and Yukari Fresh, among others.

    Sarah Zupko of PopMatters wrote, “Luxury revels in international, otherworldly sounds and collaborations with musicians who perfectly suit Tanaka’s experimental bent.” She called the album “an enjoyable, eclectic effort that fans of sophisticated Euro pop are sure to adore.” In 2020, Tokyo Weekender writer Ed Cunningham wrote that Luxury was “more refined” than Fantastic Plastic Machine’s self-titled debut, “but both were inventive, slightly surreal and utterly smooth pieces of dancefloor-worthy retro pop.”

  12. #TIL Cornelius is on Bandcamp.

    I thought he was signed to a major and thus the usual streaming/collectible-vinyl only deal, possibly with expensive Japanese-import CDs as an option, because Japan still does optical media. Though it looks like he owns his own rights, or near enough.
