this album is definitely a grower, at first i didn't like a lot of the songs like belong to the world or professional because of the really weird production and lack of straight forward melodies, but now is my 2nd fav album behind after hours.
God this just makes me wanna listen to the album again. It really might be my favorite. Like others it certainly wasn't my first time listening to it but it grew on me.
Tears is the Rain is my favourite as well. This track really does sound like it could be on The Blade Runner soundtrack. The entire album was heavily inspired by the movie and soundtrack. Also the words it’s pointless like tears in the rain come from the monologue given towards the end of the movie by the character Roy Batty.
you're right about the japanese culture, he actually recorded most of this album in japan and was heavily influenced by it so props to you on picking that up. i believe this was one of his first times leaving canada too

The first part of adaption is all about himself. Listen to it again with that knowledge, the whole album is a masterpiece if you know about what it is.
