Momus: Summer Holiday 1999 (2010 version)

Summer Holiday 1999 is a "science fiction melodrama" song Momus released on his Voyager album in 1992. It's based on the film by Shusuke Kaneko:

PS -- Did you download a Super Mario World samples pack? And if so, from where?

@musenheddo It's a bit more complicated than the description above really lets on; one version of this song was made in 1990, one in 1992, one in 2001, and one in 2010. What's more, each succeeding version samples bits of the one before. The Super Mario samples must've arrived at the 2001 version, made for a Romanporsche compilation (Japanese-only release). I used them quite a bit on my "Tokyo album". They were sampled from a Gameboy, or downloaded from some online library, can't remember.

The 1992 version has consequently dated - whereas this one sounds like something from Ocky Milk. (my favourite Momus record)

Between this and the Voyager (title track) 2006 remix you're really onto something with this ancient tunes, between the distant sort of nostalgia in their updated synth and the ultra-contemporary backdrops of Joemus also present are we seeing the makings of a future Slender Sherbet?
