It is his third solo album, but the first to feature such a wide pallet of instrumentation and has a central theme of duality. Vintage analogue synthesisers combine with acoustic performances and jazz elements, including some stark and memorable improvisations from a personally hand-picked group of musicians. Twisted voices are always present, though not in a language we can recognise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an ex-founder of the new-wave pioneers Japan, Barbieri was a leader in creating the ground-breaking synthesiser sound that defined the band and influenced the likes of The Human League, Duran Duran, Gary Numan, Talk Talk and a whole raft of artists to follow. Together, the band record five studio albums culminating in the groundbreaking Tin Drum, which stayed in the UK Albums Chart for a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing Japan, Barbieri joined Steven Wilson to form the legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree, playing keyboards on all the band’s albums since 1993 as well as releasing a run of superb solo albums, culminating in his latest, 2026's Hauntings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of Planets + Persona is presented as a 4-panel CD digipack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e1.
