don't post on a sunday if you want people to respond

those youtubes are great. Holger Hiller was definitely hip to Esperanto before doing the Ohi Ho Bang Bang videos but I wonder if he knew about these Radical TV videos as well

nothing to do with anything:

I'd been looking out for this album since I discovered it here, but just ordered it on discogs. Listening to it in full now, I feel like this is the Sakamoto I've always been looking for (but gave up after being misled by “Beauty”): just the right combination of avant garde experimentation, quirky almost popish elements, and alluring weirdness. Very curious what it was like to hear in its original time and context.

This is finally getting reissued on WeWantSounds!

Listening to this right now, as someone said above, would never have believed it's from 1985.

yeah the only thing I can think of in that era that sounds similar is Hosono's Monad stuff

just picked up the reissue. man, was this ahead of its time. it sounds like a Giant Claw record.

someone ripped the 33 minute laserdisc that was released alongside it. doesn't feature any of the performance, it's far trippier. in retrospect a bit of a vaporwave origin story
