T-SQUARE - サーキットの放浪者 (Circuit Wanderer) [HQ]

[@Ball00nB00]

Mario Kart 8 vibes for a good reason. Members of T-Square have worked on the soundtrack of Mario Kart 8.

[@Kameeho]

This is glorious. Was originally listening to Macross 82-99 Horsey. This original really makes me super nostalgic.

[@Jake-im2lv]

Every time a vaporwave song comes on my Spotify I always have to find the actual sample, it's always way better than a lazy looped piece of a good song

You can't feel nostalgia for a vaporwave song that's not even a teenager yet lmfao. Have some more respect to the classics that weebs have run a train on.

you gotta listen to macross-82 99 A Million Miles Away!!! it’s such a good vaporwave album full of vaporwave and jazz/funk fusion :D

Still dont know why this masterpiece isnt on spotify already...

[@Chris-zs5qb]

or any digital store font in the US

[@thehwguy4293]

It's because of the licensing.

[@La_Win69]

@@thehwguy4293 explain, you tellin me this doesnt belong to T-square or sum'?

[@thehwguy4293]

@@La_Win69 well, the album it's from is called "F-1 Grand Prix World", not to mention they probably made this under the commission of Fuji TV as they were the F1 broadcasters in Japan at the time. Also, the album features a song that doesn't even belong to T-Square (the last song in the album "In This Country").

Jazz fusion is a pretty large genre. There are lots more artists/groups of equal or even higher quality. I personally would recommend Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Pat Metheny Group, and Mile Davis' fusion projects.

[@alexsartandmusic]

@@lars1588 I would also recommend them, but it's safe to say they can be an acquired taste. I've listened to a lot of music (specifically jazz-inspired) before coming to these, and I had an easier slide into their particular spices and flavors. Pat Metheny's work, however, is so imaginative and styled that it will be appealing to most fusion listeners; the guy knows how to let the song flow!

For years I thought Macross came up with that brilliant little synth melody. But I should have known better from that RIPOFF artist. Glad to locate the real genius.

Someone hasn't heard of "sampling other songs".

[@anonymous-anonymous-anonymous]

@@loustact - someone else hasnt heard of "FLIPPING" a sample. macross' use is just... LAZY.

[@loustact]

@@anonymous-anonymous-anonymous Lol, my bad. But honestly, it's not only Macross. And besides, from what I can see (since I'm no Macross fan) is that his themes are usually from the 80s-90s. I wouldn't be surprised if an artist flips a sample for the nostalgia effect.

@@lowintellecttrash6737 Maybe... Idk

[@foxcollr831]

I feel like some of the folks talking about the "sampling" in Macross' "Horsey" aren't 100% on why it's kind of a disingenuous thing for them to do. Normally in sampling you flip part of a recording and do something different and unique with it that makes it your own. Macross literally just take the melody of this tune wholesale and use it as the melody of their tune, it's not just flipping a sample or copying a chord progression which is free reign for anyone to do, if you WHOLESALE just take a melody from someone else's song, the result is a remix... or a re-imaging or whatever you wanna call it. When you form your entire song around taking the melody straight from another song, it just feels disingenuous to me to call that your song.

Future funk can absolutely have some incredibly lazy sampling, but I don't think this is really an example of that. Sampling is a spectrum, from totally unrecognizable collaging (Face to Face by Daft Punk, or much of the Avalanches' first album) to repurposing a melody into a new context (like this.) Some of the best beats and sample flips ever are "simpler" flips that are not too different from the Horsey sample -- e.g. Big Boi - Shine Blockas, Nas - Represent, Eminem - My Name Is, etc. I do think there is a line, though, between "simpler" sampling and "lazy" sampling. Selfish High Heels is a really bad example of the latter IMO -- it's basically taking the entire chorus of Dress Down and layering some additional drums and filtering effects to it. Horsey differs IMO because it uses a substantially smaller snippet of Circuit Wanderer, puts it in a very different context (hip house instead of jazz fusion), and the vocals add a *lot*.
