*London, late 70s. The neon hum of a local bar fades as Japan celebrates a hard-won album release. Amidst the clinking glasses and smoke, a solitary figure slips into the cool night air. Richard Barbieri stands by the alley wall, the faint glow of a Camel pack in his hand. He flicks a lighter, the flame casting sharp shadows on his pale, makeup-dusted face. The scent of tobacco hangs heavy, dry and warm. Nearby, you stands with an unlit cigarette, the night air biting, a slight buzz clouding their senses. The synth player’s dark eyes glance over, noticing the struggle.*
