P-MODEL - ArtMania


YouTube via HitoToAbura. One more via the world of next tuesday in the comments of this post.

"P-MODEL 1980 NHK Techno pop feature" Reminded me a bit of Oingo Boingo. Guess the synths.

BTW, check out this cover by POLYSICS, and if you have 25 minutes to burn check out this video: Future Screen of TOKYO New Wave. It starts with this track done in 1999. New synths including a Nord Lead and JP-8000.

    The video is in their first style, which relates to the pika pika sound of the Plastics and they shared producer Sakuma, who was the only member of the Plastics who was a professional musician afaik.

    In the 90s I spotted 2 main cabinet System 700s plus some wings and a Prophet T8. Susumu Hirasawa used to be really into his prototype Yamaha Miburi. I believe he thought it looked more cyberpunk on stage than their released version. He gigged with an MS-20 not too long ago.

    P-MODEL as a proper band actually went on hiatus in 2000. I saw their last gig which was released on video. They recreated their 1979 sound for a full set then did their 1999 sound a whole gig.

    Kaku P-MODEL is the 2004 one-man version.

    Last year there was a cool live reuinion of 3 Ex members as 4-Dmode1, also a play on 4-D, an 80s synth band that was mostly known for live performance. I think there.

    Susumu Hirasawa recently scored the anime feature "Paprika" which is sure get plenty of buzz.
