what music in EB is most evocative of MBV tho?

Jennifer 8. ( (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 04:58 (nine years ago) link

Known in Japan as "MyBlo"

wow. this thread is my dream.

soyrev, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 06:45 (nine years ago) link

dang corey posted my favorite eno ("always returning") and made me realize maybe part of why it hits me so hard is childhood memories. can't place what EB song it sounds like, per se, but the spirit is there

just found out about this, new arranged versions of various earthbound tunes from keiichi suzuki himself released this year. he provides vocals too

ufo, Sunday, 17 October 2021 06:33 (two years ago) link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJMnWEezS8E

probably the most proto-earthbound i've heard from suzuki's previous work

ufo, Sunday, 17 October 2021 11:28 (two years ago) link

i love this video that highlights one of hip tanaka's idiosyncratic compositional techniques

missingNO, Sunday, 17 October 2021 14:41 (two years ago) link

this song by miki nakatani and ryuichi sakamoto has a certain ethereal earthbound-y quality, i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1ShKUHmnQU

missingNO, Sunday, 17 October 2021 14:50 (two years ago) link

oh, that's blocked for me but now I'm curious. I love that first nakatani album that sakamoto produced. which one? "chronic love"?

(⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Sunday, 17 October 2021 19:30 (two years ago) link

oh that's annoying, this one should work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNKjgrE1G0I

song in question is track 2, 雨だれ ("amadare" ["raindrops"])

i think this is her best album, futuristic micropop w/ impressive production work from sakamoto and nobukazu takemura. love the peak y2k aesthetic / gen-x soft club cover art

missingNO, Monday, 18 October 2021 03:29 (two years ago) link

I literally just came here to post a track lol

^Excellent pull, has both the longing sweetness of something like "Smiles and Tears" AND a touch the weirdo electronica that soundtrack does so well. Also thank you for making me aware George Riley has a new album out!
