If the sophisticated music's Eighties have been dominated by the neo Progressive era, they also saw the full expansion of the Japanese symphonic Progressive rock movement, with local bands such as GERARD, OUTER LIMITS, DEJA VU or PAGEANT. PALE ACUTE MOON was one of them, and probably amongst the best. Keyboards player Motoi SEMBA's band recorded an unique album in 1985 called “Newtopia”. This masterpiece of refinement and formal perfection is now reissued by Musea with as a bonus, various tracks taken from the solo career of the leader, who was then TERU’S SYMPHONIA’s keyboards player. Not to be missed !
