any fans here???
someone on Coz's forum recommended Sakamotos group "Yellow Magic Orchestra" to me when I was raving about synthy/electro music and I got their stuff and was very impressed but I only recently discovered Ryuichi has crossed into a bunch of Genres and cross pollinated but has also stripped his stuff down and made some minimalist experimental stuff like "Insen"
I saw his concert with Alva Noto (aka Carsten Nicolai) a fortnight ago and it was like nothing I've seen before think Aphex Twin meets Mozart but more subtle and sublime ... with Noto providing beats,warm crackles and the light show to extend the themes of each piece
im getting everything of his I can as fast as I can ..
