Voyager (Momus album)

[1] Voyager marked Momus' increased popularity in Japan, where he was signed to Nippon Columbia and began to collaborate with a number of notable Shibuya-kei artists.

Inspired in part by the staging of a Yukio Mishima play that Momus had attended at the 1991 Edinburgh Festival, the album heavily utilized science fiction themes.

[2] The first single released for the album was "Summer Holiday 1999", which initially appeared on a 1990 Polystar Records compilation titled Fab Gear.

[2] Though Momus would later spend much of his life living in Japan, he first visited the country in 1990 at the request of the Shibuya-kei band Flipper's Guitar, who had coordinated the release of the Fab Gear compilation.

Though he had not seen success equal to his 1989 single "The Hairstyle of the Devil" continue in the UK, he began to gain popularity in East Asia.
