Onitsuka Chihiro - X
This song would be so much better with her pre-LAS VEGAS voice. |

I got her best of album over Christmas, but I'm only now getting around to really listening to it. I reeeeeeally like it! It's a little mellow at times, but I love the twangy guitar. And she's so much better than Sylvie Vartan. I tried her a couple of years ago and I kinda gave up on 60s French singers. I'm glad I tried it again. |

Video info from Stupid and Contagious: Interesting late-eighties collaboration here between two greats in different musical genres, Messrs. Iggy Pop and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Bill Laswell was also involved in the songwriting, I believe. Some background about the great innovative video. In 1987, Pop appeared on the mostly instrumental album, Neo Geo by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. The music video for "Risky", written and directed by Meiert Avis, won the first ever MTV "Breakthrough Video Award". The ground breaking video explores (Persian: فریدون اسفندیاری)'s, transhumanist philosopher FM-2030's ideas of "Nostalgia for the Future", in the form of an imagined love affair between a robot and one of Man Ray's models in Paris in the late 1930's! Additional inspiration was drawn from Jean Baudrillard, Edvard Munch's 1894 painting "Puberty", and Roland Barthes " Death of the Author". The surrealist black and white video uses stop motion, light painting, and other retro in-camera effects techniques. Meiert Avis shot Sakamoto while at work on the score for "The Last Emperor" in London. Sakamoto also also appears in the video painting words and messages to an open shutter camera. Iggy Pop, who performs the vocals on "Risky", chose not appear to in the video, allowing his performance space to be occupied by the surrealist era robot! Who can tell the difference? |
