This album was obviously a massive influence of video game songwriters for the Megadrive (Genesis) and MegaCD. Seventies song writing with the eighties sound of synths.

You might be on to something. The track long distance gave me "in the bar - streets of rage 2" vibes

Not only this one, but J-Fusion in general. You can clearly hear Katsumi Horii Project, Casiopea, Masayoshi Takanaka, etc, when you are listening to early Japanese videogame music. Imagine that most of the sound designers and BGM composers at the time were really, really young, probably some underpaid interns on a new and underdeveloped field, with not much composing experience in a lot of cases. Whatever was hip to listen to for young music students back in 1980's Japan, they were surely into. And that was probably a lot of J-Fusion. I grew up with NES/SNES soundtracks, so it all clicked when I first listened to Casiopea and Katsumi Horii. It made so much fucking sense, like of course that awesome music didn't pop out of nowhere, but it was a product of its context.

@@retorique It was a wild time of opportunity for those who wanted to jump into the game industry. Reading interviews of composers and developers of KOF highlighted how little experience or knowledge they had, but they were given a chance to make it work.

JP Fusion albums always seem to have insane artwork, but that's only a precursor to how good the music is.

@tomshotdogs6645 6 ай бұрын

rule of thumb I find is if it has NYC on the cover, it's gonna be a banger. If it has a cool racecar on the cover, it's going to be sicknasty.

@rushnerd 6 ай бұрын

@@tomshotdogs6645 You might be right. Supertramp - Breakfast in America was an abstract version of NYC on the over and that was an amazing album, hits or not. I can think of a few LP album covers I had now with NY. Just depends on the artist how good it is.
