Fantastic plastic machine theme of luxury


Luxury is the second album by Fantastic Plastic Machine. It is the follow-up to his first album, The Fantastic Plastic Machine (1997). Luxury is a continuation of his previous work in Shibuya-kei, though in some tracks there are indications of a shift towards house music and 1970s Philadelphia soul, a path he explored more in his next album, beautiful.. "There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart)", is a cover version of a Eurythmics song. Vocals on this version are performed by Lorraine Bowen. Her vocals also appear on the track "Bossa for Jackie".
