Try this one: Les Barker, folk poet, 75. No, me neither, but all my folky mates are posting on FB about it, seems he was a big deal on that scene.

YMO were essentially the Japanese Kraftwerk, the US Hip Hip scene around the time of the Sugar Hill Gang and Afrika Bambata sampled YMO massively. Credited as releasing the first album made up almost entirely of samples and loops Also a huge influence on the New Romantic bands such as Duran Duran and obviously Japan, who Sakamoto would go on to work with. There's even a YMO vs The Human League thing out there. Pioneers also of ambient house, techno... it's a big list But you know, if Dave hasn't heard of them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
