Review by John Robert Ramos

The album Subject Tokyo Part I by Rennie Foster is a masterful blend of techno, house, and ambient music that takes the listener on a journey through the vibrant and dynamic city of Tokyo. The album is a collection of 10 tracks that showcase Foster's unique ability to create intricate soundscapes that are both atmospheric and danceable.

From the opening track, "Tokyo Night," the listener is transported to the bustling streets of Tokyo with its pulsating beats and hypnotic melodies. The album continues with tracks like "Shinjuku Station," which features a driving bassline and ethereal synths that perfectly capture the energy of the city.

Foster's use of field recordings, such as the sounds of trains and crowds, adds to the immersive experience of the album. The track "Harajuku Girls" is a standout, with its catchy vocal samples and infectious rhythms that are sure to get any dance floor moving.
