Yellow Magic Orchestra / Seoul Music : Technodelic

This impressive song was composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi in 1981.
This song may sound weird for some people, as Sakamoto got dark inspiration by visiting South Korea, which was under the military administration. But most of songs in this album"Technodelic" are avant-garde for the people of that time in 1981 and even for the youger generation of today, aren't they?
動画の中に登場する文字列は、特に意味ありません。日本の文字の美しさと不思議かつ不気味な曲調をちょっとでも表現できればいいかなと安易な発想で試験的に作成しただけで­す。

知っている方には既出でしょうが、

ボイスパーカッションで「インチキインチキ」とやって

「イン」の部分に「ズク」を被せてカモフラージュしている。

秀逸。

better than a lot of tedious uninspired indie music today. There's no fear to tread new grounds in this music. I wonder if the "vocal-rhythms" intentionally meant to sound like "fucker" or was that accidental? I love the droning main vocals, the acoustic/sampled drum beat, imaginative bassline, and the VERY weird and nostalgic multiple background synth overlays, that makes us feel sentimental and wondering. And the walkie talkie word bytes: just fantastic.

I guess it's accidental, but for sure it gives spicy effect on this song. ))))

This album resulted, somehow very inspirational back then in '82.

Particularly remember the weird photo-booklet included in the LP pakage

@MrAbacuc

Yes, you are right.

My graphics for this song is also weird enough, I guess.)))
