R.I.P. Ryuichi Sakamoto. This song helped to influence modern hip hop trends, and his career transcended even further with his solo, and soundtrack albums, as well as the work he did with YMO. I’m so disappointed because I told myself I was going to buy tickets to his virtual show in December of 2022, but said “I’ll just see the next one he does.” I missed out on seeing a true legend. May his soul Rest In Peace.

Yeah, you have to see these great artist when you can bc many are older and either will die or stop performing especially if you loved their music, you gotta see them once in a lifetime and also pay your respect and appreciation to them. I think he worked with David Silvian (sp) on that other great song called “Forbidden Colors”. Check it if you don’t know about it and came out in the 80’s.

Ahem.... they offered it as a techno-homage to its creator, MARTIN DENNY, and it is SOOOOO "LAYERED", you need today's tech to really enjoy all the magic these guys "squeezed" into this. They are literally dancing through this weaving of percussion and synth punctuation. This is top-drawer stuff (and it helps to know a bit about musical composition). A tip of the hat to FRANZ LIZST at 3:35 (artistic inside joke). These guys were WAY AHEAD of their time, and this labor of love still rocks even today. Tell the kids to put COWBOY BEEBOP on hold and meditate on this!

It certainly was 1977-1982 the greatest period in UK music imo. So much talent, invention, diverse sounds and even Foreign language lyrics, mainly French in songs made in the UK. I was too young to appreciate the other great period 1965-1970. The period 1987- 1992 was also excellent.

This song has been a hidden treasure in my heart for many years. It was attached to a very sad emotion for me. When I was a young boy my father played it for the first time the day I first met my older half brother in 1982. When he was leaving after a brief introduction the song was playing. I cried so hard. My dad never played it again as it caused me to immediately cry again. A beautiful/painful melody. I'm am so glad to have found it again.

It's a very powerful piece of music to be attached to such a profound time in your life - for a sensitive child that would have been extremely difficult. I hope that when you listen to this now the emotion shifts to something softer. It's always been a very special piece of music for me too ❤💙💛💜

Back in 1988, during the birth of House music, The Trip in London's Astoria was a pioneering venue. Every Saturday night, droves of converse-clad, bandana-wearing kids would travel from all over the capital to visit the mecca of Acid house, witness the birth of a new era in music, and as high AF, dance for hours, as Nicky Hollaway spun magic memory making sounds on a 20ft high podium. This is common now, but back then it was so rebellious, it turned all the London tribes in to one heaving mass of love. We were home! There was one tune that would drive people wild. It had a fresh, easy beat with a pumping bassline and was showered with Asian-influenced chords and sounds as well as spots of dramatic tension as if it was telling you a really important story. It stood out and would often get a full play. Little did we know, it was made 10 years earlier and not in Chicago, but by the Japanese electronic music maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto and his band, Yellow Magic Orchestra. I later found out they were producing most electronic genres that we hear today before they even had a name. Their influence on me was profound but on the world of electronic music it was outstanding. I drove to many raves with this tune blasting in my car stereo, from a cassette my rave date gave me. Scrawled on it was just two words “Chinese Chimes”. That’s what we thought it was called. RIP!

I have been searching for this song for years!!! Ran across a video featuring "Boogalo Shrimp" from the movie Breaking called Urban Dance Legends and there was a clip with him dancing on a show in Japan that was playing this song and immediately Shazamed it.

I remember hearing this at MARS, a club that was on the Westside Highway in NYC, before that I use to pop and break to the song...great stuff for late 70's music.

Wow! This is one song that I must save to a playlist! This song and others by Kraftwerk caused me to have a great interest in early electronic music. This song in particular displays so much craftsmanship in structure, melody, chord progression and rhythmic expression. Words can't express how much I'm in awe of this tune. I was 40 years younger than today when it first came out. I still rocks!!!

I had to come back to this joint. I had heard it on Soul Train a decade and a half ago, and went into a culture shock. So I scrambled to find whatever unfinished VHS that I could grab so I could record their performance the next go-around... And I eventually saved this song to my mp3 playlist. RIP to Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryūichi Sakamoto, and Don Cornelius (who hipped me to YMO 😊)
