Trattoria, the label released by Polystar Records in Tokyo was the brainchild of Keigo Oyamada, also known as Cornelius and formerly the lead singer of Flipper's Guitar. Check out Monty's cheeky tribute to that band on the él records Abracadabra album. Monty wrote and produced several songs on the Exotic Christmas album, released in Japan only, and the food album, which appears to have never been released. The albums are great.
