sorry for the title, dunno how else to put it. and it's not quite fitting within the confines of a few pre-existing threads that are a sniff away...
i've been vibesing to this Francesco de Gregori track all weekend:
trying to figure out how i might go about searching out that kind of sound further. the immediate reference for me would be really wide-eyed synth scores for a lot of video games (almost always japanese scoring it almost goes without saying).
i'm figuring digging around late 70s records from other Italians might be an okay place to look: i do have a bunch of records from a bit earlier (Battisti, Battiato, De Andre, Sorrenti), which are definitely synth enamoured, but they tend to be less gossamer, less sickly poppy, for lack of a better description.
the other place that seemed like an okay place to look would be Japan and the rest of East Asia... although there i really have no reference in that particular musical ballpark...
similar (in its relation to video game vibes) but different but coming up again for me is Mr. Mort Garson... who is obviously bearing a bit closer of a relation the current centre-point of synth-revivalism (Oneohtrix, et cetera).
anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thai? Italian? etc?
better thread title even?
