Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

"A Sakamoto's classic played with my synths: Access Virus TI (pad), Moog Little Phatty (lead) and a Piano Plug-in."
And the original, "Forbidden Colours" by David Sylvian of Japan with Ryuichi Sakamoto. The song is featured on Sylvian's Secrets of the Beehive released in 1987. Sakamoto was of course credited for his arrangements. I was fortunate enough to see David Sylvian live with Michael Brook in Los Angeles. I believe it was the 1993 show mentioned on Wikipedia, but as you can see date was not on the ticket. If anyone went to the show and/or knows, please comment. I remember Michael Brook playing solo before Sylvian.

Is that a Moog Little Phatty stage with wood side panels?
ReplyDeleteWhere do I know this tune from? It's soooo familiar.
ReplyDeleteI want to remember in my brain, rather than googliki it to jog the ol' thang.
I loved Sakamoto's music in "The Wings of Honneamise".
