I heard Harry said on his radio a month ago or so, that YMO was and is, especially was a band of yukihiro. and Ryuichi said exactly a same thing as Hosono a couple of times before . what the reaction of yukihiro was :oh is that right ?ehehe,,,,, (haha,,,,, ). this is just a small info. have a nice day ! :-)
This is the El Dorado carousel that used to be in Coney Island but is now somewhere in China if it still exists. Each platform runs at individual speeds.
I've noticed that this guy does everything one should NOT do on a carousel
1. Smoking- It's a darned good way to start a fire
2. Wandering around on the moving platform
3. resting his feet on the horse's neck!
However this is a magnificent carousel and i it's still around, seeing and riding it is definitely on my Bucket List!
This is great. Anyone know what the song name is or if it was ever released? Like the guy below said I would kill for an MP3, or pay through the nose for any releases. (might end up buying the boxset and and ripping it from this DVD!)
it's hard to find electronic music by Sakamoto, Hosono and Takahashi that's pre-YMO. There's Indo, couple off Paraiso, bits of Sakamoto's Disappointment / Hateruma album, Thousand Knives and this.
Yes, I am dead fond of YMO. Rare stuff gives me the horn :)
Definately. I'd say this song by Hosono sounds far more ahead of its time than anything Kraftwerk were doing back then... And it proves that Hosono was not trying to follow in Kraftwerk's footsteps when he created YMO several years later.
@Jagged85 yes, and he was more fan of Isao Tomita. Hideki Matsutake was an assistant of Isao back in 70's and he later became the 4th member of YMO in 1977! It was just the right place at the right time.
Another interesting fact is that Hosono was a session musician for several early synth-rock albums: Inoue Yousui's "Ice World" (1973) and Osamu Kitajima's "Benzaiten" (1974), which was also one of the earliest rock albums to use drum machines. Yet another interesting fact is that fellow YMO member Ryuichi Sakamoto was experimenting with synth music at his university since 1970. In other words, all the YMO members (except Takahashi) were creating electronic music since the early 70s.
@Jagged85 holy!!! thanks for all the info on Hosono! I truly believe that YMO is the best band ever, and Hosono's creation of his techno sound really took away and influenced the bands in all over the world!
we now should call them "YMO children!" again, thank you for the info!
No probs. Another interesting thing I found, after listening to Osamu Kitajima's "Benzaiten" (1974) which Hosono was a session musician for, is that some of the songs in the album have electronic beats that resemble the artificial Roland TR-808 beats that later became hugely popular in the 80s and 90s, so "Benzaiten" probably used an early Roland rhythm machine. It's no surprise then that YMO was later the first band to use the Roland TR-808 rhythm machine in 1980.
@Jagged85 wow! you sound like YMO encyclopedia!!! How would I know all about Hosono if you didnt tell me all this!! I thought his album Happy End was pretty different from YMO, but, I kind of liked the base of Hosono's sound which later influenced YMO!! Thanks for your great info Jagged 85!!
I heard it was located in outside of Japan. I can't clearly remember, but somewhere in California, I thought.

I found out some more information about this song from Discogs:
The song is called "Merry Go Round" and the music video was filmed on November 1976 at Toshimaen, Tokyo.

I like this one!

yes, i love this track too. Hosono's no
stranger to bgm (background music) for commercials etc. This one probably lost
in hosono's music vault. If we had a name,
i could see if it was released.
