Description

After the success of 1983's 00962, people were surprised when prog-pop superstars K-On! took their sweet time recording a followup. Between '83 and '85, Nao Okuda left the band and returned, Yui Hirasawa recorded a Christmas album, leaving the rest of the band had nothing to do. When recording finally started, Nao and producer Nodoka Manabe found they simply could not get along. Yui was frustrated with guitarist Sawako's more pop-oriented approach to songwriting. Eventually, Nodoka stepped down as the albums' producer, leaving Sawako to take over. The album, Big Generator, was released at long last in 1987. It did well, but wasn't quite as successful as 00962. Yui left soon afterward and formed a group with former K-On! members (but would come back later!)

Based on the cover art for Yes's 1987 album, Big Generator! This is actually one of two versions of the artwork. The LP version is noticeably different, and can also be found here.
Have a listen to one of my favorite tracks from Big Generator... Big Generator!
