Like I said, "back then!" It's really too bad she tried so hard to keep the look... There's some pictures now that are far scarier than the one you posted.

They aren't men? They think if they don't all look like 20-something hotties, they'll be left alone as they get older. I may not think someone who's older looks as awesome as they did when they were younger, but I FAR prefer "real" to plastic (one of the reasons I moved away from Southern California!).

Enjoyed listening to Nouvelle Vague this morning PwalPwal. Interesting how much verb is used when they're singing and not so much when talking. Their live sound is very good.....almost like studio quality. Yeah Craig, those two singers for NV do look fantastic for being 71......

I may not think someone who's older looks as awesome as they did when they were younger, but I FAR prefer "real" to plastic (one of the reasons I moved away from Southern California!).
Now I could go for an older woman - there are a lot in their 50's and 60's who are still good looking and their mature looks are very hot. The exception, for me, is those who are making a concerted effort to look 30 years younger with a thick crust of makeup, plastic surgery and young person clothes. I think the problem with being a 50 year old trying to look 20 is that it's as if you're trying to attract the kind of people who find 20 year olds attractive, and those people are more likely to concentrate their attention on actual 20 year olds as opposed to 50 year olds dressed as 20 year olds. In general, I think attraction is more about looking healthy than looking young. Doesn't matter how old a person is, if they have the kind of healthy glow that comes from eating well and exercising, they're going to look attractive. I would much prefer a healthy looking 60 year old woman with no "enhancements" than a 20 year old who eats junk food, smokes, and covers herself in an inch of makeup.

Here's a blast from the past I haven't heard in decades - Ghosts by Japan. Amazing that this reached no.5 in the UK charts in 1982 - you don't hear anything this inventive or quirky in the charts these days. It's a fantastic piece of 80's synth pop, and all of those bell-like FM sounds work surprisingly well with the vocal. Nicely mixed too - the young EDM crowd could learn a lot from listening to how synths were mixed back in those days.

I love that track, and Nightporter, really atmospheric. Oil on Canvas is one of my favourite live albums.

Eventually, when I a) get my guitars back and b) have enough extra money to buy more toys, I intend to create some fun synth background textures that I can noodle over with a nice, over-saturated, creamy, gooey, guitar sound. It sounds like software-based synths have come a long way since I last looked at them (12+ years ago!). I used to have hardware-based synths back then. Now, I think a nice balance of both is probably the way to go.

Mick Karn went solo, David Sylvan put out some awesome ambient stuff and Richard Barbieri ... went to Porcupine Tree ... and his keyboard work was always really good all around.

Slyvian's 'Rain Tree Crow' project is well worth a listen. Basically Japan reunited. Also his work with Robert Fripp.

Hi, Such a nice introduction with Edgar and Linda ... really lovely. I do think that their version with Hoshiko is also dynamite and really strong ... and the sequencer stuff only got better and better and more intense. The only other introduction that is excellent and fun, is the one in Lisbon, when he allows Linda to play the piano and then comes in to thrash that piano ... !!!! Electric Guitar – Bernhard Beibl ... and no one here still knows what that acoustic guitar he plays is? (at about 15 or so minutes into it) And this is the concert Edgar does a solo with Linda on Sax ... it is really nice, but you can almost see him pushing her some. She handles it. NP: Hermaphrodite ... from the PHAEDRA Farewell Tour DVD

Thank you very much
I have been into the electronic/symphonic (whatever you wanna call it!) since 1972, and have over 3K CD's and 1K LP's that will never make it to CD ... with so much of this kind of music that I can not even remember some things. I was just recently playing some things like from the 70's that were all so much like yours in terms of electronics, but they are all different and very strong, and always very satisfying as yours also is. The combination of electronics and a symphonic feel, is good for me, but then something different like Larry Fast, and SFF, Klaus Schulze, Eberhard Schoenner, Richard Vimal, Albert Von Deyen and so many others from Europe specially, are always a treat ... as many of these lean on the experimental side of things as an "experience", and are not defined by a song concept or idea, which is something that I really like. There is a freedom of expression that is really special. The one thought I remember from your piece was that yours was a very much more modern "Oxygene", but it would bring down yours, and I did not want to do that ... it is very good and a wonderful listen, and my imagining other folks on it, is just me ... I do that with all music ... in fact about the only folks I can listen to that do not do that to my imagination are Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Vangelis and Ryuichi Sakamoto ... and I have been with these 4 from the very beginning and start ... however, if there is one thing I do not like to do in reviews, is to COMPARE a musician's work to another ... the suggestion I made was more for fun, and just something in my imagination, not a review. But it is also a suggestion that the bottom end of it is very nice, or it would not have brought up the thoughts, and that is not to suggest that it would make it better ... I think its best as it is! Now you got a sort of review! One small detail ... you are missing the SPOONS! (or forks, or other utensils!)

That is some review, Moshkito, and thanks again. In fact I am blushing a bit now haha! I am very much in the experimentation process at the moment. I haven't done anything like the one you heard for a bit though as I have gone even more into the world of soundscapes and drones. Big thanks again for listening and taking the time to review cheers andy
