The early 80s were prolific for Hideki Matsutake. As the go-to keyboard programmer for the tokyo music scene, he worked on Akiko Yano's 'Gohan Ga Dekitayo', YMO's 'BGM', Ryuichi Sakamoto's 'B-2 Unit', Mkwaju Ensemble's 'Mkwaju' and found time to record two Logic System albums in 1981. While the first album, 'Logic' had a harder techno feel, the second one 'Venus' was different affair. Recorded in Los Angeles at the new state of the art Yamaha Studio, it was loosely themed on the Greek goddess Venus and had a funkier more organic sound. For the album Matsutake had asked a handful of American musicians to provide songs he would then add his synth magic touch to. Michael Boddicker, Don Grusin, Nathan East and Roger Powell duly complied and also played on the album.
