Dan Lacksman was a member of the highly influential Telex band from back in the late 1970s, who delivered such classics as 'Moscow Disko.

Here under the name, Electronic System, his very rare solo album of Moog style disco. 7 tracks of Giorgio Moroder basslines, lush Manuel Gottsching style strings and a hint of the old Telex funk are all on here, especially the lead cut 'Flight to Tokyo' with its uplifting 4/4 vibe and vintage emotive strings that deliver a fine taste of the LP.

Also the ambient start of 'Sailing to an Unknown Planet' evokes the classic Moog period, with a deeper edge, and is a fine example of the tracks to be found.
