"BGM" (Vinyl)
Another entry from the Saito collection, this 1981 album was released by the Japanese electronic music pioneers. It includes the band's earliest recorded work using a couple of seminal pieces of equipment: the Roland TR-808 and Roland MC-4.
BGM stands for Back Ground Music. While maybe it would be suitable to have pumping in the background of your lavish penthouse pool party it wouldn't be very comforting during an elevator ride.
Very interesting stuff and another facet of musical development in the age following the jazz fusion explosion of the late '70's.
