Well, those folks sit in the middle.
You had acid jazz influence, then someone like Meshell Ndegeocello,
then Badu and Jill Scott, then you had it connect more with hiphop,
then it connected (Frank Ocean, for instance) with alternative R&B,
then...
Ahh, man, that's too bad. This was my introduction to him

I'm thinking it's "Ondas" as well. The piano, especially on Forgotten Love is so prominent with a repetitive chord throughout.
The cover matches perfectly. It's early 80s ... "Northern European" ... "Jarrett-like" and so on.
You can break down the title like this:
"B-X⁰" is the category or system within his comp. language
with the "B" referring to a series and the "X⁰" being a subset

The "NO-47ᴬ": "NO" being a notational code that brings us to
"47ᴬ" being Composition 47 with an alternative version "ᴬ".
Also, the "100 Tubas" work is an early work - from '68/'69 -
being his 19th official composition.
