Retronauts Micro Episode 5 - early access (Patreon)

Hello, friends! Thanks for taking Retronauts over the $2500 mark! Your support keeps us going. And today, we're going with another Micro episode. In this case, a look at Yellow Magic Orchestra. We've touched on YMO quite a bit in the past but (unless I'm forgetting something, which is admittedly quite possible as I enter old age) we've never dedicated an entire episode to them. And, honestly, it might be tough for YMO talk to sustain an entire episode... but it's just right for a Micro post. So, herewith is Retronauts Micro 5, a quick foray into YMO. I've splashed plenty of YMO tunes into the episode as both texture and examples (along with a single Gentle Giant track by way of contrast!), so hopefully this sampler whets your appetite and inspires you to search out more YMO. If not, well, thanks for bearing with us, and please look forward to another full episode next week. This episode's description: "A brief journey into the music of a band that had an incredible influence on the direction and style of game music in the '80s and '90s: Japan's New Wave-tinged synth rockers Yellow Magic Orchestra. Featuring lots of music by, yes, Yellow Magic Orchestra." Thanks as always for listening! And, of course, the early episode release is hidden behind the icon above this post.
