I think Akira shoudl do a solo disc on Favored NAtions..whose with me?

I can't believe they've been around since 1981...

Akira with Favored Nations would be cool, cos his solo albums have always been unconventional. He really doesn't make shred albums and his solo stuff have that weird and sometimes avant-garde quality.

I had Tusk of Jaguar on vinyl (dating myself?)..been trying to track it down on CD for a while..I'll be in Tokyo in a few weeks, so I'll try to get it then..I picked up his last one Splash Mountain when I was in Japan last year..definitely unconventional!!
