STRANGE LOVE - HARUOMI HOSONO

[@chuckiechen4530]

Surprisingly, such a song was released in Japan in 1984.

[@mimoincc]

This track came from the future

[@wmb2k5]

greetings, guy from 1 year ago

[@fusionshredder]

Even if future people (like me) come across this, this track is from that future's future.

[@netako]

The whole album came from the future.

[@Instrumentals4Sale]

decades ahead of his time

J'ai beau essayer, depuis que j'ai découvert ce chef-d'œuvre je ne peux pas m'empêcher de le réécouter quotidiennement... Cette musique, c'est une expérience. Mieux encore : un voyage. Les artistes japonais de la fin du 20ème siècle, c'est quand même quelque chose... En particulier les membres de YMO!

[@netako]

Et pas mal de hits japonais des années 80 ont été produit par Hosono en plus.

[@Pr0d3gi]

english u bum

[@seankmchenry]

Just heard this played on Red Light Radio by the guys from Melting Point. Seriously ill production. Stunning that this was released in 1984.

[@Vamoshh]

HH was part of Yellow Magic Orchestra. Both him and ryuichi sakamoto became the producers of the best j-pop of the 80's and 90's. Check out L'acqua sonora by Miharu Koshi.

[@miamivicemastermixer]

I really like Hosono and Koshi's band together: Swing Slow. they made a really nice album

[@kick4ss4life]

indeed! one of the sickest albums i ever found on youtube!

[@syuino9646]

今でも新鮮。 やっぱ天才だわ。

[@kabutojapan]

30年前、確実に最先端の音楽だった。 それは今でも。

[@koitaro9129]

すげえ。今聴いてもすげえ。

[@RazorEdge2006]

This almost sounds like new jack swing, years before new jack swing appeared in America in the late '80s... Except this sounds more minimalist than new jack swing, almost like hip-hop music of the '90s or '00s. Hosono was always ahead of his time, coming up with new sounds years before they became popular.

[@gg-nj4ih]

Interesting observation!

[@diegopena681]

i try to quit the hair of my laptop :c

[@RazorEdge2006]

Come to think of it, this almost sounds like modern trap music!

[@JackOpulski]

Haruomi Hosono so friendly. Always the homie sound.

[@nanashinodenbei5752]

うっわ！懐かしい~ 30年前の歌とは思えないわー

[@MrWoodmania]

たまんねええっす…あの当時こればっかり聞いてたよ　 今でも全然飛びぬけている…

[@farmyardflavours]

This is excellent!

[@oneheaven8062]

マイ　ミックスリストで聴いていたら、この曲が流れてきて、ちょうど「スポーツマン」のあとだった…。すごいなと

[@elektrochava]

this is the right vibe, japan delivers

[@sclogse1]

You can hear the influence of David Sylvian's Japan.

[@Vamoshh]

Sounds like Miharu Koshi's L'acqua Sonora which was actually produced by Haruomi himself.

[@netako]

AND the same album contains a song sung by both Miharu and Haruomi.

[@android1012]

The vocal tone is a cross between Sylvian & Numan...but it's Japanese...! Excellent!

[@omarlittl3]

okay, this is too good

[@erikssol2906]

I agree.

[@thasco]

oh my lord.

[@billay360]

So i stay home and tailor jeans.

[@tendenbarabara]

漫画でいうと石森章太郎のような。 当時最先端で、今でもその後継はいない。。

[@NuageAuSol]

Wow.

[@MykeHeim]

My favorite release by Mr. Hosono is Coachin Moon

[@Dog-999i]

Myke Heim That LP is one of the most creative albums I've ever heard! Way ahead of its time especially for 1978!

[@ellebarron7112]

@@Dog-999i I agree. It blew me away the first time listening to it. Hosono is one of the greatest.

[@Dog-999i]

Cameo single lifes international cousin ;-]

[@daryx.langdale]

how the fuck was this made in 1984?

[@Fear_the_Nog]

I got no idea, maybe it's a spacetime anomaly. I'm mindfucked by this, in a very good way

[@maadakeili]

the drum pattern sounds a bit like Vanity 6 - Nasty girl. Prince ;)

[@2Niche4U]

i pick up the Linn drum sounds yes but disagree on the pattern ;)

[@jesseburnett4456]

I’m so glad someone else thought that!

[@alvarosoliscespedes4749]

it is a direct reference to Dr. Strangelove from Mr. Kubrik? Just asking

[@pizzapanda8527]

“Hey Dr. Strangelove, are you gonna save the war?” It doesn’t get any more direct than that

[@gabezila]

Sounds like Sonic's soundtrack

[@RazorEdge2006]

Considering how many Japanese game composers were inspired by YMO, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sonic composers were inspired by Hosono.

[@ZXRulezzz]

Sounds more like LucasArts SCUMM game on an AdLib soundcard to me :)

[@Silas-lf4cc]

Sounds very much like Yello

[@Erosthesphynx]

[@cristocoloforombo7880]

This Song maik me feel like looking at the comments on a similar songe and finding an exaggerate meme comment about that song and i feel like its not worth to comment about how inappropriato It is however there ppl in tears and feeling what Is written so i think we have different taste but Who cares what im think ing.
