Is that the same guy from Dee Lite?

It sure is! Hard to believe he has released over double the amount of album output as a solo artist vis Deee-Lite albums. He was sole producer of the first two albums, contributing one track to their third.

I haven't heard any of his recent albums. I think I just have the first two after Dee-lite's last one. But I like the sound of the preview here. I think I might pick this up. His sound has always been fun and I just like its energy.

Change it one more time..

Ironically the last album I picked up from Towa was called "Big Fun" and it is some amazing strange, with Miho from Cibo Matto on a couple of tracks as well as a few characters from the new release. I also loved his "Sweet Robots Against The Machine", it was like a fever dream with a band on kids electronics.
