LOGIC SYSTEM 松武秀樹 MAD PIERROT
It was in 1970 that Hideki Matsutake was grabbed by the playback of Walter Carlos's Switched-On Bach using a synthesizer and a computer at the American Pavilion of Expo '70 in Osaka. In June the following year at his age of 19, he makes his first step into professional music as an apprentice to Isao Tomita, providing him the chance of operating one of the few Moog III-P sythesizer units existing in Japan.
Establishing a company of his own named Musical Advertising Corporation (MAC) in 1974, his involvements with new music artists such as Yoshitaka Minami and Akiko Yano started. In 1978 he participated in the production of Ryuichi Sakamoto's first album, Thousand Knives. In the following years between 1978 to 1982, Matsutake served Yellow Magic Orchestra as its sound programmer, eventually to become known as "the fourth member" of the band. He also led sequencing work for numerous Technopop albums by other artists, especially at the beginning of the 80s.
In 1981, Matsutake formed "Logic System" with Makoto Irie, with whom he toured to perform in other Asian countries several times. The unit has released 10 albums to date, 2 out of them released in 8 countries. Its latest album is Tansu Matrix, released in 2008.
Matsutake is currently Chairman of Japan Synthesizer Programmers Association (JSPA).

Mistral - Starship 109
Until the future finally catches up with us... We have this:
NOTE: It is really quite amazing how this dutch band and their song, "Starship 109" still manages to sound incredibly futuristic. They were very ahead of their time. They don't sound dated at all. The video looks like it was made in the future where people will be wearing these clothes. It looks real, like they may have gone into the future somehow and shot this. I thought you couldn't do that though so I'm totally tripping out right now.

Donna Summer state of independence
The dawn of summer is over and a coat 'n' scarf adorned and weary disillusioned traveler of the disco nightlife emerges a glorious monochrome butterfly on the cold city streets to the rapture of Vangelis, only to be flipped onto 45 by cosmic meastro Baldelli on C41.

La Bionda - I wanna be your lover (Discoring)
.
"Meanwhile back in La Bionda Brothers desire to go back and try other musical styles, so the name DD Sound is not indicated, then back on the market with their name.

Since the early eighties the brothers La Bionda focus on composition and music production. Composing soundtracks for hit movies Sergio Corbucci including Supersnooper, who finds a friend finds a treasure, man, my beauty with Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato , and Bruno Corbucci: Dog and cat Supercops and Miami, and serial television shows such as The Inspector Giusti with Enrico Montesano . To compose and produce various advertising jingles like the famous "Smiles Is Magic" Smiles and Songs initials Telegatti, Heart Cream Cornetto Algida , I'm coming home Aspirin to Bayer and bring the Italian versions of various commercial Coca Cola Sensation only.

Amazing George Fleury live performance on the Yamaha Electone FX1. Unfortunately this video doesn't show the end of the gig where he gets so pissed he flips the whole organ over and throws the bench into the audience. Still, it's a great clip. Enjoy.

ANN STEEL
Roberto Cacciapaglia ft. Ann Steel...
Italian experimental musician + American super-model = pure genius... Look for the David Zed cameo...
“In my music there is nothing to understand. It is so superficial that I can’t find anything to say. My music is ingenuous, there is nothing inside it and it is for this reason, that I like it. It can be listened to while sipping tea, watching television, or while speaking with a friend. Even in a moment when one has nothing to do or is bored, the music can be listened to attentively and millions of little changes can be discovered. It is certainly not the ideal music; it is just one type of music.
The computer has been indispensable. It is a marvelously poetic instrument that evokes the beauty of the new technologic environment and it gives everything a great artificial taste of grand actuality. This music can be utilized in many ways and listened to by different people, which is what makes me happy because I want it to be accessible to everyone. I would like it to be even more simplistic, in fact, and my aspiration is to uncover it on a weightless day – so weightless, in fact, as to have it fly away like a balloon.”

Jock Hattle - Crazy Family (Yes - No)
There is a parallel universe where music just like ours is being created. It is made by aliens on a ship that uses anti-matter to drift on a time line adjacent to ours. They absorb billions of hours of MTV and American Bandstand through tubes sticking out of their eyeballs. Then with their brains they transfer their imaginations onto something much like VHS tape because they have already shot through time and discovered that the human race will return to using VHS tape as our perfect way of watching movies and videos. Something to do with "magnetic warmth", they say.
