Absolutely amazing, especially since he makes it work with all the synths.




I think everyone have heard this song "Tong Poo" sometime, its one of the first techno groups and often called japans greatest band^^. I just love his play.


(wait till the 0:54, thats when the song really starts)

Haroumi "Harry" Hosono (b/g), Yukihiro Takahashi (dr/voc) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (kb) were/are about as creative and cutting edge as it ever gets. All have done major production work with other artists, all have released fascinating solo projects. Some major talents seldom come together in one band, and YMO in their heyday were mind-frying.
