Cross Point (album)

Cross Point is the fifth studio album by Japanese jazz fusion band Casiopea, released on October 21, 1981 by Alfa Records. This is the band's second album to be created and produced with Harvey Mason. Casiopea did a domestic tour in late November and December after this album's release, which inspired the Mint Jams live album in February of the following year.

The album's name has a double meaning: first referring to an intersection for roadways (as on the cover art), and second, as it says on the LP's OBI paper strip: "The music scene has reached a new cross-point."

This is the first album fully recorded with Mukaiya's GS-1 synthesizer, gifted to him by Yamaha.

The CD release and vinyl include a pamphlet documenting the band's history, written by bassist Tetsuo Sakurai.
