The album updated the rhythmic folk-rock and pop-rock style of his earlier albums with the extensive use of synthesizers, and other electronic music instruments, giving the album a more electronic rock and synth-pop style. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIzitso\u003c\/span\u003e was a commercial success, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Albums chart. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIzitso\u003c\/span\u003e also included his last top 40 hit (until three decades later), \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e(Remember the Days of the) Old Schoolyard\u003c\/span\u003e, an early synth-pop song that utilized a polyphonic synthesizer. Linda Lewis appears in the song's video, with Cat Stevens singing to her, as they portray former schoolmates, singing to each other on a schoolyard merry-go-round. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWas Dog a Doughnut\u003c\/span\u003e, which upon release was criticized for sounding \"a bit too robot-like,\" has since been considered one of the first electro, or techno-pop, songs ever recorded, with elements later associated with hip hop music. The track made early use of a music sequencer along with synthesizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793775816985,"sku":"SP-4702-2","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-cat_stevens-izitso-14.jpg?v=1783554710","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/sp-4702-2","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
