The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines. It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Bastien Petrov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre. ------------------------------------------------------------ From ssanchez@utexas.edu Tue Dec 12 07:09:03 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!utexas!ssanchez From: ssanchez@utexas.edu (Seo-yeon Sánchez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] Akasaka Branch City Pop arrangements - Japanese session players Message-ID: <1995Dec12.070903.3774@utexas.edu> Date: Tue, 12 Dec 1995 07:09:03 GMT References: <1995Dec12.033503.1954@titech.ac.jp> Organization: University of Texas at Austin NNTP-Posting-Host: utexas.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1995Dec12.033503.1954@titech.ac.jp>, bpetrov@titech.ac.jp (Bastien Petrov) writes: > Comparing the Western synth-pop arrangements with the Japanese singles released between 1984 and 1988. > The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines.
