Previously released only in Japan this 1974 recording is truly a Herbie Hancock solo album. One side of the original vinyl was solo piano and the other side of the original vinyl was a live in the studio run-through of Herbie on his Fender Rhodes, Arp Pro Solist, Odysey, 2600, 3604 and String Ensemble, Hohner clavinet & echoplex; think of it as Herbie's "Future Memories"!
This is a unique experiment in the Hancock discography, recorded in Tokyo in just one day during a tour of Japan. The first side contains two introspective, complex solo acoustic piano tracks, "Maiden Voyage" and "Dolphin Dance," which are notable since they date from a period when Hancock was supposedly totally immersed in electronics. Side two has two even more unusual pieces -- "Nobu," a one-man show recorded in real time with the sample-and-hold feature of an ARP 2600 synthesizer providing a rhythm section for Hancock's electric keyboards, followed by "Cantaloupe Island" with a pre-recorded synth bassline. Side two is a fascinating look back at the charms and stringent limitations of mid-'70s analog keyboards, as well as a challenge to Hancock's on-the-wing inventiveness..."-AllMusic
