System 7’s masterful psychedelic techno album inspired by the amazing Phoenix stories of Japanese manga legend Osamu Tezuka.

System 7’s Phoenix album is their most accomplished in a long and influential dance music career. A fusion of deep dark spacey techno and some rich dreamy downtempo moments, Phoenix contains all the elements that make System 7 great, including Miquette Giraudy’s unique electronica and Steve Hillage’s highly specialised techno guitar. The album is inspired by the manga graphic novel series ’Phoenix’ by Osamu Tezuka - one of the founding fathers of Japanese manga culture – and features collaborations with Jam El Mar (of Jam and Spoon), Son Kite, Slack Baba, Eat Static, Gong’s Daevid Allen and Mito from the Japanese band Clammbon.
