If anyones' gonna know the answer to this question they'll hopefully be here...The records by a Japanese guy I don't know the name of, it's electronic, it was recorded in the 70s (I think) and has the number 2000 in the title (all this from an unreliable memory)...anyone wanna tell me what its called and put me out of my misery?

One year out, but Catastrophe 1999 (original soundtrack) by isao tomita? Dates from '74.

six years pass...

I just discovered Yukihiro Takahashi's 1981 album Neuromantic.

This 808 jam (Extra-Ordinary) is ughhhh:

Drip Dry Eyes

It's in queue now...er...meaning I'm, uh, purchasing it briefly.

What Me Worry and Tomorrow's Just Another Day are my favorite Takahashi albums, though Neuromantic and Wild and Moody are also essential. I could listen to his voice 4ever.

I have a cd of cover versions with a lovely Opie style portrait of Yuki and his dog.

It's pretty good, but those youtube tracks are great.

what me worry? is my favourite. some of the synths on that album are outrageous. sakamoto tends to get most credit as the master of the prophet 5 but yuki is an underrated synthesist.

there was a video on youtube of a live performance of "real you" featuring steve jansen, david sylvian and masami tsuchiya but it is long dead. this one is ok:

Was that the one that was titled something like "All the Real Boys" and they were all interviewed afterward? It was basically my dream team of musicians.

There's a live record from 82(?) called "Time & Place" that's surprisingly good, I might like it more than any of the studio records around same period; nice version of 'drip dry eyes'. Wild & Moody is sort of ehh in my opinion.
