My other point from before is that as old skool as some of us may think we are, we all know we were listening to Def Leppard and Don't Worry Be Happy when Tears came out in like 1988 or whatever.
Not I and I have the records and tapes to prove it! I'm an old fogie.
Someone mentioned Chris Sheppard and he had this thing going at RPM that went out over CFNY every Friday (and later Saturdays) that played this weird stuff called 'house music' back in 1987/88 when CFNY was still a cool and respectable station.
Being a massive Depeche Mode/New Order/Human League/OMD fan, I couldn't get enough of all of the freaky sounds guys like Knuckles, Phuture, Maurice, Farley Jackmaster Flash, May, Atkins, Adonis, Saunderson, etc. were getting out of their DX-7's (the classic Detroit string sound), 303's, 909's and 808's! Put a Fostex 4 track in there somewhere and if you were lucky, a Tascam reel to reel machine and an Atari ST/Amiga, and you were groovin'!
But yeah, Satoshie ain't 'nu'.
Regardless, I can see why he's pumped and I myself would do it in a heartbeat.
Another thing I find interesting is that Bang have booked him in recent visits instead of Breathe.
Cheers,
