POPULARITY
**Colin Peters presents… 15 FAVES** This mix features 15 tracks that are some of my all-time favourites, personal memories that come together to form a beautiful whole. **Laid Back – White Horse** It's electro, synthpop and post-punk rolled into one, what's not to like :) **Lenny Kravitz – Let It Ride (Jamie Jones remix)** ‘White Horse' and ‘Let It Ride', get it? Got to see Lenny Kravitz live in April 2025, and I love his homage to New York's 80s underground, expertly remixed by Jamie Jones. **Tiefschwarz – Kinda New (Tiefschwarz Dub)** The biggest track of Ibiza 2004 dominated the speakers of the White Island, especially at We Love Sundays at Space. **Moontalk - Virtual Friends** Love the whole Tiga 00s vibe on this 2024 track, leading us nicely into… **Seelenluft - Manila (Ewan Pearson remix)** **Golden Boy with Miss Kittin - Rippin Kittin (Tobi Neumann remix)** These two tracks will always remind me of my sets at Manumission and Carry On, with the electroclash and synthpop revival fitting perfectly with my sound at the time. **Information Society – Running (Oscar Independance edit)** Freestyle at its finest, this track really has stood the test of time. It's also one of the first remixes by one of my all-time favourite DJs and producers, Louie Vega. **When In Rome – The Promise ** This track, along with Desireless - ‘Voyage Voyage', are tracks I adored back in the 80s but then disappeared before coming back in a dazzling moment of rediscovery. ‘Voyage Voyage' in a taxi in 2001 in London and ‘The Promise' in 2004 as part of the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack. Poetry in motion. **Company B – Fascinated ** More 80s freestyle sauce by Company B. The Melody is strong with this one. **Mel & Kim – Showing Out (Serge Santiago edit & Extended Version)** This one always reminds me of my older brother and his 80s Hi-Fi system. Whenever he went out, he always said: “Don't you dare touch my vinyl; I'll know if you have.” I always gave it a good 15 minutes before getting my grubby hands on the record player. My faves were Five Star, Whitney Houston and this absolute banger by Mel & Kim, produced and remixed by the much-maligned Stock, Aitken & Waterman. **The Aikiu – The Red Kiss (The Magician Precious 80's Dub)** The Magician captures the magic of the 80s on this dub **Nami Shimada – Sunshower (Vox)** Originally released in 1989, Nami Shimada's ‘Sunshower' is a peculiar deep house anthem that has stuck in my head over all these years. The best mix is the Vox version from 2004, still sounding fat after 21 years later with its warm blend of house and electro. **Wham! – Everything She Wants (SMQ edit)** My No.1 Wham track, beautifully edited by Sleazy McQueen. I celebrated my 40th birthday by recreating Wham! 's ‘Club Tropicana' video at Pikes (I was George Michael, of course). **Steve Winwood - Valerie Eric Clapton – Behind The Mask** Ending 15 Faves, we have two 60s rock gods who embraced synthpop on 2 of their signature tracks. Stevie Windwood's glorious ‘Valerie' and Eric Clapton's masterly cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's ‘Behind The Mask'. These two were massive on my Yellow Sports Walkman in 1985.

"I wanted to be at the forefront of the beat that would storm the world." The renowned musician talks about how reggae became the sound of resistance in the UK. How did reggae become the sound of resistance in the UK? In this RA Exchange, the influential Barbados-born guitarist, bass player and record producer Dennis Bovell talks about moving to South London aged 12 and navigating its tense racial and musical landscape. Through the music he wrote and produced, he responded directly to racist rhetoric and colonialist attitudes rocking the UK. After the arrival of the Empire Windrush ship in June 1948—which brought a generation of Caribbean people over to rebuild post-war Britain—the UK experienced new social pressures as the diaspora assimilated to their new lives. But London also became a melting pot of creative and cultural diversity. Reggae became resistance music, and artists like Bovell became bandleaders. Bovell speaks with writer and musician Tony Nwachukwu about music as social commentary, especially in his reggae band Matumbi, which was intentionally provocative, aiming to challenge the status quo and give voice to the Black British experience through its lyrics, themes and messaging. Matumbi was critical in developing the British reggae sound, and Bovell went on to record other musical projects that were key in shaping the early days of reggae, dub and lover's rock. He also reflects on his time engineering for artists in different scenes, like the German electronic duo Saâda Bonaire, the Japanese band Yellow Magic Orchestra and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Bovell's unique ability to bring together different musical styles at the peripheries of dub made him a highly sought-after collaborator with a knack for navigating delicate dynamics in the industry, especially for Black artists.

A conversation with Chris Mosdell – poet and lyricist who has written for a vast array of musicians including Yellow Magic Orchestra, Michael Jackson, Sarah Brightman, Tatsuro Yamashita and many more, and in 2023 was honoured with Japan's Classics Day Cultural Foundation Prize, presented by a member of the Imperial family. Mosdell shares the process of writing words for music, the story of why one of his most famous pieces was locked in Michael Jackson's vaults for decades, being inspired by Kyoto's 10th century "social media", and how the hum of cities has an impact on his words.

Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva edición de Rebelión Sónica, al músico japonés, figura gigante de la electrónica, la música clásica y la vanguardia, Ryuichi Sakamoto. En primer lugar, destacamos el álbum póstumo “Opus”. Publicado por el sello Milan Records el 09 de agosto, el disco que contiene la última grabación del fundamental músico japonés, fallecido en 2023. La performance sin audiencia fue realizada por el fundador de Yellow Magic Orchestra a finales de 2022 en el estudio NHK 509 de Tokio. Durante la presentación, interpretó piezas para piano de varias de sus obras pasadas y más recientes. El álbum, que se lanzó con sonido envolvente Dolby Atmos, viene acompañado de un documental, dirigido por el hijo de Sakamoto, Neo Sora, quien filmó la actuación final. En una declaración después de grabar esta última performance, Sakamoto dijo: “El proyecto fue concebido como una forma de grabar mis interpretaciones, mientras aún podía hacerlo, de una manera que valga la pena preservar para el futuro. En cierto sentido, aunque pensaba que ésta era mi última oportunidad de tocar, también sentí que podía abrir nuevos caminos”. El comunicado agrega que “simplemente tocar algunas canciones al día con mucha concentración era todo lo que podía hacer en este momento de mi vida. Quizás debido al esfuerzo, después me sentí completamente vacío y mi condición empeoró durante aproximadamente un mes. Aun así, me siento aliviado de haber podido grabar antes de mi muerte, una actuación con la que quedé satisfecho”. Al final del programa, resaltamos otra de las facetas esenciales del músico nipón: la de compositor de bandas de sonido, para escucharlo específicamente con material del soundtrack de 1987 para la película de Bernardo Bertolucci, “El último emperador”. La banda sonora, que también cuenta con colaboraciones de David Byrne y Cong Su, obtuvo un Óscar y un Grammy como mejor partitura. Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción y curatoría de Héctor Aravena

Welcome to today's episode, where we journey back to the year 1982—a pivotal year in music history. This was a time when genres were in flux, new sounds were emerging, and the music industry was undergoing significant transformations. We'll explore the coming end of disco, the rise of heavy metal and hip hop, and some fascinating developments in Japanese music. We'll also examine the political climate of the time, the impact of MTV and music videos, and the exclusion of artists of color from this new visual medium. ### The Music of 1982 **The Decline of Disco:** By 1982, the disco craze that had dominated the late 1970s was waning. The backlash against disco, epitomized by events like the infamous Disco Demolition Night in 1979, had taken its toll. While disco's influence lingered in pop and dance music, it was clear that the genre's heyday was over. Artists who had ridden the disco wave began to either evolve their sound or fade from the spotlight. **The Rise of Heavy Metal:** Heavy metal was on the ascent, with bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Ozzy Osbourne leading the charge. The genre's aggressive sound and rebellious spirit resonated with a generation looking for something more intense than what mainstream rock offered. Metal's rise was part of a broader movement towards harder, more complex music that also included punk and hard rock. **The Emergence of Hip Hop:** Hip hop was also beginning to gain traction. While still primarily an underground movement, 1982 saw the release of seminal tracks that would lay the groundwork for the genre's explosion in the mid-1980s. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "The Message" was a groundbreaking track that highlighted the social issues facing inner-city communities, proving that hip hop was a powerful new voice in music. **Innovative Japanese Music:** In Japan, the music scene was vibrant and innovative. Artists like Yellow Magic Orchestra were blending electronic music with pop, creating sounds that were ahead of their time. Meanwhile, city pop, a genre that combined jazz, funk, and R&B, was becoming popular. Japanese musicians were not only pushing the boundaries of traditional genres but also influencing global music trends. ### Political Climate of 1982 The early 1980s were marked by significant political and social changes. In the United States, President Ronald Reagan's administration was characterized by conservative policies, economic changes, and a strong stance against the Soviet Union. The Cold War was still a dominant force in global politics, affecting cultural and artistic expressions around the world. Economic policies were shifting towards deregulation and tax cuts, which had mixed impacts on different segments of society. In the UK, Margaret Thatcher's government was implementing neoliberal economic policies, leading to significant social and economic changes. These policies sparked resistance and protest from various groups, including labor unions and youth movements, which were often reflected in the music of the time. ### The Rise of MTV and Music Videos **MTV's Impact:** MTV launched in August 1981, revolutionizing the music industry by making music videos a crucial part of an artist's success. The visual aspect of music became as important as the sound, changing how artists promoted their music and connected with fans. Videos like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" became iconic, setting new standards for production and creativity. **Exclusion of Artists of Color:** However, MTV faced criticism for its lack of diversity. Early on, the network primarily featured white rock artists, excluding many artists of color, particularly in genres like R&B and hip hop. This exclusion was symptomatic of broader racial biases in the music industry. It wasn't until Michael Jackson's breakthrough that MTV began to more regularly feature black artists, a shift largely driven by the massive popularity and undeniable talent of Jackson himself. ### Conclusion 1982 was a transformative year in music, marked by the decline of disco, the rise of heavy metal and hip hop, and innovative contributions from Japanese artists. The political climate of the time influenced these musical shifts, while the advent of MTV changed the way music was consumed and promoted, albeit with significant racial biases that needed addressing. As we look back, we can see how these developments laid the groundwork for the diverse and dynamic music landscape we enjoy today. Link to the 1982 playlist.

New Romantic: A subculture movement that originated in the UK in the 1970s and early 80s that focused on a more androgynous and glamorous style.

The story of Bob Moog and three pioneering synth bands - Suicide, Gary Numan & Yellow Magic Orchestra.
As a tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto on the first anniversary of his passing, Caro C talks to Richard Barbieri, Natalie Beridze and Carsten Nicolai, aka Alva Noto, three musicians who were fortunate enough to collaborate with him. Here, they share some insights into his mindset and methodologies. Chapters00:00 - Introduction01:44 - Richard Barbieri09:04 - Natalie Beridze 19:45 - Carsten Nicolai / Alva Noto Ryuichi Sakamoto BiogRyuichi Sakamoto was a multi award-winning keyboardist, songwriter, composer and producer who along with Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, became pioneers of the electronic music genre in Honsono's band Yellow Magic Orchestra.Prior to his success with the band, Sakamoto earned a B.A. in music composition and worked as a session musician and producer. Alongside his success with the band, he continued his solo work, releasing solo albums and collaborations, experimenting with various genres and fusing traditional with electronic. This work led to him scoring more than 30 films throughout his career, his most famous being Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence and The Last Emperor. In his later career he composed a multimedia opera, sampled a glass building for use in one of his works and traveled to the Arctic to record the sound of melting snow.Richard Barbieri BiogHailing from London, Richard joined the British band Japan in 1975 and saw huge success around the world until they split in 1982. He continued to work with David Sylvian, as well as Sylvian's brother, Steve Jansen on separate projects. He reunited with Sylvian, Jansen and bass player Mick Karn for the Rain Tree Crow project and continued to play with Steve & Mick as part of ‘JBK'. In the early 1990s, the three of them teamed up with Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson as part of No-Man and it was here that Barbieri and Wilson would begin their long musical association. Porcupine Tree had initially been a Wilson solo project but he recruited Richard in 1993 and over the next 17 years, became one of the shining lights of the neo-prog / pop scene, embracing a more heavy style as the years went on. Reuniting in 2021, they released the first Porcupine Tree album in 12 years with 2022's ‘Closure/ Continuation', a critically acclaimed return to form. Richard has a large body of solo work which he started to release in 2005 and still does to this day.http://www.richardbarbieri.co.uk/Natalie Beridze BiogNatalie Beridze is a Georgian music composer and songwriter. Since 2003 Natalie has been performing live concerts worldwide, and has been known as the first female electronic music artist from Georgia. From 2002-2008 she lived in Cologne and produced music under the artist name TBA. She's released music in Europe on Max.E, Monika Enterprise, CMYK, Laboratory Instinct, CES Records DADO records, Apollo Records Chainmusic, CES Records and ROOM40.In addition to her solo projects, Beridze has collaborated with artists such as Thomas Brinkmann, AGF (Antye Greie), Gudrun Gut, Joerg Follert, Marcus Schmickler, Nika Machaidze aka Nikakoi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Gacha Bakradze, Alex Kordzaia, Annika Henderson, Antye Greie-Fuchs, Barbara Morgenstern, Beate Bartel, Danielle De Picciotto, Gudrun Bredemann, Lucrecia Dalt, Merja Kokkonen, Mommo G, Natalie Beridze, Pilocka Krach, Sonae. Beridze's music is part of Adam Curtis's recent BBC Documentary series “Can't get you out of my head”. She also creates works for piano, orchestra and choir, which have been performed by a number of artists and the Tbilisi state opera orchestra. Her recent compositions for piano, keyboard, soprano and tape are part of the ongoing program of Zurich based KioskEnsemble.Beridze, alongside Nika Machaidze teaches songwriting and music production at CES (creative education studio).https://natalieberidzetba.bandcamp.com/Carsten Nicolai / Alva Noto BiogUnder the pseudonym Alva Noto, Carsten Nicolai is one of the best-known representatives of contemporary electronic music. Concerts have taken him to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Tate Modern in London. His various musical projects include collaborations with Ryōji Ikeda, Mika Vainio, Iggy Pop, Blixa Bargeld and Ryūichi Sakamoto. With the latter, Nicolai composed the score for Alejandro González Iñárritu's Oscar-winning film The Revenant, which was nominated for a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, a Critics Choice Award and a Grammy.https://alvanoto.com/Caro C BiogCaro C is an artist, engineer and teacher specialising in electronic music. Her self-produced fourth album 'Electric Mountain' is out now. Described as a "one-woman electronic avalanche" (BBC), Caro started making music thanks to being laid up whilst living in a double decker bus and listening to the likes of Warp Records in the late 1990's. This 'sonic enchantress' (BBC Radio 3) has now played in most of the cultural hotspots of her current hometown of Manchester, UK. Caro is also the instigator and project manager of electronic music charity Delia Derbyshire Day.URL: http://carocsound.com/Twitter: @carocsoundInst: @carocsoundFB: https://www.facebook.com/carocsound/
Shubostar's RA Podcast begins and ends with video game music. (The beginning kind of sounds like Mary Poppins, actually.) Lots of DJs and producers play or make music that emulates the nostalgic sounds of old-school gaming, but the South Korean artist goes direct to the source. Before falling in love with dance music, she went to an animation-focused high school and learned how to make video games—so it's basically in her musical DNA. And while her DJing isn't as out-there as you might expect from that description, '90s and '00s Japanese video game (and anime) soundtracks offer a good idea of what her playing sounds like: lush, synthetic and a little naive, full of wonder and positive vibes. With releases on labels like Permanent Vacation, Internasjonal and her own uju Records, Shubostar is also a student of cosmic space disco, inspired by artists like Daniele Baldelli, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas. Lately she's been rubbing elbows with Âme and Dixon. She picks tracks from across eras and genres on her RA Podcast, with cuts from Yellow Magic Orchestra, Baldelli and Kraftwerk alongside selections from DJ City and Private Agenda. It's a mix full of mood shits, dazzling keyboard runs and, of course, melodies that seem to reach out towards the heavens—or outer space. @shubostar Read more at https://ra.co/podcast/925
I had a wonderful time preparing for this unique gig honoring the late legendary Japanese artist, Ryuichi Sakamoto. I went through his vast catalogue picked out my favorites to share & attempt to make a coherent mix out of.The end result was this live mix I whipped together on a fun Thursday night at one of my favorite places to dj in Madison, Leopold's Books Bar Caffè.Enjoy the ride!Playlist: https://serato.com/playlists/nick_nice/ryuichi-sakamoto-tribute-night-live-at-l
Around 2010 I became somewhat obsessed with Japanese pop and ambient music of the 1980s - in particular the Yellow Magic Orchestra, the solo records of the members of the group: Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi and music by Akiko Yano, Yasuaki Shimizu and Hiroshi Yoshimura amongst many others. Last year I discovered that this was an enthusiasm shared with architectural historian, and very occasional pop music writer, Owen Hartherley who has since written an article partially on the topic: https://www.jencksfoundation.org/explore/text/japan-at-number-one-ryuichi-sakamoto-s-riot-in-lagos Although much of the episode is on the music itself, we also touch on the politics - particularly how these artists were influenced by and reacting to the culture of the 1960s New Left, during the extraordinary economic boom of the 1980s, and how some of these musicians reintegrated the memory of 20th century Japanese imperialism in Asia into their music. If you'd like to explore some of the music we discuss in the episode you can find an accompanying playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1eM8f2mq7vJYtYuTDq2EKW?si=7dd8d970fb8d4ad2 As well as tracks from the 80s, the playlist also includes some records from the folk rock era of the 1970s, as well as from Vaporwave and Future Funk genres - both of which were influenced by much of the 1980s work that Owen and I discuss. Unfortunately, there are plenty of fantastic records from this era that aren't currently available on the streaming services - including Akiko Yano's best work (especially the album Tadaima) Paradise of Replica by After Dinner, Ichiko Hashimoto's Beauty album, Miho Fujiwara's Heartbeat, Untotooku by Chiemi Manabe and the soundtracks to the animated films Akira and the Wings of Honnêamise amongst others. Do check those out too if you can - many of them are available on YouTube or to purchase from Bandcamp and other such outlets.

It's a throwback thriller that satisfies as both sleazy genre exercise and one of the director's most stylish metacommentaries on the craft of filmmaking itself.We discuss Brian De Palma as auteur, and how this film continues his career-long devotion to past masters like Hitchcock and their shared fascination with perversion, voyeurism, and corruption. Then we discuss the film's brilliant grasp on both form and function, as it employs its technical acuity to externalize the interiority of it's lead character (portrayed with considerable aplomb by a never-better Nicolas Cage). Finally, we discuss the film's many brilliant collborators, including the late Ryuichi Sakamoto of the influential Japanese electronic outfit Yellow Magic Orchestra who provides this movie's haunting and lyrical score.Follow Hard Mike on Twitter. Find Taylor online (if you can). ....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

Le pianiste et compositeur japonais Ryuichi Sakamoto s'est éteint le 28 mars 2023 à l'âge de 71 ans.Né en 1952 à Tokyo, il commence le piano très jeune, instrument qui restera son compagnon de route tout le long de sa vie. D'abord inspiré par la musique classique, surtout la musique impressionniste de Claude Debussy, et par le pop rock, il découvre ensuite la musique électronique et ethnique lors de ses études à l'Université des beaux-arts et de musique de Tokyo, comme celle d'Okinawa ou encore la musique indienne et africaine. Son premier album, Disappointment-Hateruma, avec le percussionniste Tshuchitoti Toshiyuki sort en 1975. Sakamoto commence sa carrière de musicien en tant que claviériste pour différents groupes et comme compositeur.Il rejoint le trio japonais Yellow Magic Orchestra, avec Haruomi Hosono et Yukihiro Takahashi, un groupe de musique électronique et minimaliste. Leur musique joue un rôle clé dans la naissance de l'électro pop, la synthpop, la city pop, l'ambient house et le cyberpunk. En parallèle, Sakamoto continue sa carrière solo, avec des albums dans lesquels il explore la fusion entre différents genres, différentes musiques et différents musiciens. Il fait notamment de plus en plus appel à des instruments acoustiques ou traditionnels pour les intégrer à un style de musique à la base plus moderne et novateur. Sakamoto s'aventure ainsi vers la bossa nova, la house, le rap…Difficile à résumer en raison de l'ampleur et de l'importance de son travail, il reste un dernier aspect à mentionner dans celui de Sakamoto : le cinéma. Il a en effet composé plusieurs musiques de films et a notamment été acteur, pour le film Furyo il obtient un BAFTA en 1984 et pour Dernier Empereur un Oscar en 1988. À travers des concerts caritatifs, entre autres, Sakamoto participe aussi à la lutte de défense de l'environnement et s'implique dans la lutte contre le nucléaire. Hébergé par Acast.

Esta noche nuestra Atmósfera rinde homenaje a uno de los compositores más prolíficos e influyentes del último medio siglo. El músico, compositor, productor, escritor, cantante, pianista y actor japonés Ryuichi Sakamoto nos dejó este pasado 28 de marzo después de una larga lucha contra el cáncer en su ciudad natal, Tokio donde vivía compartiendo residencia con Nueva York. En el programa de esta semana guardaremos silencio, escuchando su música, que es su mejor legado. Siempre estará con nosotros como lo lleva estando desde que comenzara su carrera en 1978 como miembro de la banda pionera de música electrónica Yellow Magic Orchestra. Ryuichi se ha ido, pero su música sigue con nosotros. Esta noche, Atmósfera respira el último aliento de Ryuichi SakaEscuchar audio

This week: the Yellow Magic Orchestra - Firecracker (1978)Thank you Ryuichi Sakamoto (rest in heaven) and his band mates Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi.

Greg kicks things off with a remembrance of the Japanese composer, record producer and actor, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who passed this week at the age of 71. A prolific composer and performer, he rose to fame as a founding member of the influential Yellow Magic Orchestra in the late 70s. From there he worked with everyone under the sun & his accolades are too many to list. Go and listen to his music, it's beautiful.Next, Greg & Jay join up for a brand new “Tales From The Concert,” Hank Dietle's edition. Last episode Jay mistakenly said he was playing a show in Ellicott City, when he was actually playing a show in Rockville. The venue, Hank Dietle's, is a mile away from Greg's parents, where he's visiting for the week. The stage for our segment is now set…Song: David Sylvian - “Topic”Jay also brings us a brand new Three For Thursday. We get some new music, some old music, and, finally, some more old music that's new to Jay.Songs:Elle King - “Tumbling Dice”*Robert Palmer - “Sailing Shoes”Robson Jorge, Lincoln Olivetti - “Jorgea Corisco”Finally Nick gives us his first impression of the new Apple Classical Music app. The app adds a tremendous amount of meta data to each work, and provides an interface to explore that data in refreshing ways. The idea of genre focused apps is discussed for a bit and then it's an overall round of applause from the group.Song: Tauk - “Informant”

Another musical great has left this world. Ryuichi Sakamoto was a founding member of Yellow Magic Orchestra. He became well known for his neo-classical work, his collaborations, and of course his film scores, from Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence to The Revenant to the Oscar-winning score for The Last Emperor. The solo piano version of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is one of my favorite piano pieces ever written. In January of this year he released an album of piano tracks, called 12, that is hauntingly simple and beautiful. In 2017 he recorded a track called "Life, Life", from the album Async, that is one of my favorite pieces of all time. I'd like to finish this post with the spoken word poem that appears in that track... And this I dreamt, and this I dream And some time this I will dream again And all will be repeated, all be re-embodied You will dream everything I have seen in dream To one side from ourselves, to one side from the world Wave follows wave to break on the shore On each wave is a star, a person, a bird Dreams, reality, death - on wave after wave No need for a date; I was, I am, and I will be Life is a wonder of wonders, and to wonder I dedicate myself, on my knees, like an orphan Alone - among mirrors - fenced in by reflections Cities and seas, iridescent, intensified A mother in tears takes a child on her lap Thank you for your music.

TCW Podcast Episode 180 - Space Invaders Part II In part two of our look at Space Invaders we explore the impact of the game on Japan and the world. Space Invaders started off rocky, but operators soon realized that players were crazy for the game. Popularity exploded, and Taito was unable to fulfill the orders coming in. This led to the licensing of popular products to other companies in Japan. A move that would see itself repeated as the golden age of arcades continued. We also clarify the 100 Yen Myth/Truth of Japan. Where the legend came from, and what we think the reality is. Finally, we look at the expansion into the United States and Europe, and how the end of the boom in Japan helped to bring Space Invaders into Europe and other nationalities.

Camouflage - The Great Commandment Mr. Turner's Tribute Mix WAV Check Here: https://petkoturner.bandcamp.com/track/track-43-german-synth-pop-tribute-mix German Synth-pop band from Bietigheim-Bissingen. The four friends Heiko Maile, Oliver Kreyssig, Marcus Meyn and Martin Kähling (who left the band in 1984) founded the band "Lizenenced Technology" in 1983. Drawing on inspiration from the song of the same name by the Japanese group "Yellow Magic Orchestra," the band changed their name to "Camouflage." The first local live appearance took place in 1984. One year later they recorded two demo cassettes in their studio and sent these cassettes to several record companies. In 1986 one of these tapes was submitted for a talent search conducted by the Hessischen Rundfunk (Hessen Radio). Camouflage was awarded the first place and the small Frankfurt record label "Westside" became aware of the band. The song "The Great Commandment," was reworked, newly recorded and presented to the larger record companies. Suddenly several firms expressed interest and after careful consideration the band signed with Metronome.
Yellow Magic Orchestra is one of the best selling artists of all time in Japan and one of the most successful international acts from Japan. Members Harry Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, and Ryuichi Sakamoto are known for pioneering the synthpop genre and were one of the first acts to make extensive use of computer technology in music and experimenting in genres like ska and electronic rap. Check out today's episode to listen to this revolutionary artist in electronic music.Scripted & Quality Assured by: NolaHosted by: Haru and AndyAudio Edited & Uploaded by: PedroSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/japan-top-10-ri-ben-nototsupu10-jpop-hits/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
