this guy was actually miles ahead of his time

[@f1hoots817]

For sure

[@MedicinalTeaKin]

Absolutely! Intro sounds like a footwork track...then breaks into a chilled Booka Shade.

[@xfloodcasual8124]

Its not so ahead of its time, as much as we're living in an age of derivative, parasitic culture.

[@amateurspeller6321]

streets ahead

[@reverendbluejeans1748]

I guess it depends what time it came out. If it came out in the prog rock era then it isn't that special.

The cosmic soundscape of the Japanese 80s electronic scene

[@bitteralmonds666]

I like the guitar bits on this 🎸🐔👌🏽 Kawasaki Ryo stopped by and left us with all this great music. Thank you, Mr. Kawasaki.

[@namelessvagrant433]

um the intro is the most footwork/juke thing I've heard from this era, and its only like 2 seconds. wow.

[@RISK-BREAKER]

+Nameless Vagrant LMAOOOO!!!

[@Barney-ii1no]

haha i thought the same straight away, that bit sounds like what could have been the hottest trap beat ever

[@b3naqua]

[@simonemenini76]

r.i.p man,,,thanks for the music...

[@mcbill7352]

The beat is so ahead of its time. Sound like something a 21st century hip hop artist would use

[@JamesDeanBrown]

It's because Hip Hop artists steal from records like this, hence they are behind of their time.

[@reliction]

@@JamesDeanBrown stupid mindset

[@Mac-xz6fj]

@@JamesDeanBrownby that logic, as an enjoyer of this music, you are also “behind your time”.

[@JamesDeanBrown]

This might be the case, indeed, @@Mac-xz6fj, since my music productions from the early/mid 80s have also been appreciated for being "ahead of their time".

[@JamesDeanBrown]

And btw, sorry, @@Mac-xz6fj, this doesn't follow any logic. Enjoying Ryo Kawasaki's music doesn't mean I don't enjoy music which is more contemporary. No music ever is ahead of its time, in fact music just marks the time it is produced in. Back then in the late 70s/early 80s, plenty of artists produced outstanding stuff by inventing their own music forms and their own groove when rhythm wasn't a dogma. However, the beat of "Hawaiian Caravan" is a very basic 808 one and really nothing special.

This is the machine produced this music in real time fired from pre-programmed Roland CSQ sequencers, DR-55 drum machine and guitar was played over sequenced back drops :) ryokawasakiDOTcom/gs/

What keyboard is the synth sound?

[@mariyaakigawa8351]

@@djpopcorn From the inner sleeves, there is no Keyboard Synthesizer in this album. All Synthesized Sound are played by Ryo Kawasaki on his Custom Guitar Synthesizer.

Ryan Ronchak just Yellow Magic Orchestra in general would be a good starting point.
