this run of 10 or so records from Obscure Records in the early 80s are just so good.





some of the finest works from the discographies of eno, harold budd, michael nyman, gavin bryars, john cage, david toop ...

heard this in the mountains of japan last summer, on the third day/morning, absolutely mind-melting.

one of my very favourite albums ... named after a bar in golden gai, shinjuku. i went there on a sort of pilgrimage. this album had carved so many imaginative spaces for me, it was almost like i had been waiting to visit for years ...



the combination of field recordings and incidental noise makes you feel like you're really inside a giant organism like tokyo.

It's tragic that so many sci-fi games utilize 3-minute, generic orchestral tracks destined for the mute button when they could have something like this in their spaceport and a player could go for hours before starting to hear it loop.

Local Classic FM station now plays video game soundtracks on a regular basis - eg Final Fantasy I think.
I mostly listen to it because it has minimal DJ talking, unlike the constant babble of the moron stations, many of which have 2-3 morons babbling at the same time.

@newbie: this project has you covered for that.



amazingly well-produced. practically calls out for those £10k speakers …

@dilbert: can probs thank some poor overworked south-east asian for those video game soundtracks. japan exports them like australia ships coal and poor table manners.

re: above - evoking memories of Freelancer



the "babble stations" as you put it, dilbs, are on an entirely different mental wavelength. it's the kind of background noise that evolved into buddy podcasts. can't speak for oz, but some of that stuff can actually quite funny if you're in the mood and listen to what they're actually saying. but I can't imagine any time is a good time for an introvert's proud introvert who gets chased out of a book store when a clerk tries to chat them up about the Heinlein book they're buying from said store.

here in washington, we've got soundtrack cinema. i tune in every now and then, sparks nostalgia.

some of the expositional chatter can be fun, too.

i like watching clips of really old howard stern shows just because of how totally out of style it is with the modern zeitgeist. i’m sure i would have even found it lame and repellent in a very uninteresting way in the early-mid 2000s. but it’s fucking funny today because it has aged like a particularly noxious milk.

the interviews with norm macdonald are so funny.
