Real Fish - テナン LP (Invitation, 1985)

First album by this instrumental technopop unit with connections to Shi-Shonen and others. The a-side of this disc is thoroughly technopop, while the b-side gets orchestral... and a bit schmaltzy. Real maniacs like me will perversely enjoy the b-side, but I think the a-side is pretty stellar, including one mega-jam in the form of By Me. One of the best technopop songs ever, if you ask me!

This is absolutely fantastic! The album hooks me right off the bat with "Bit Walk." Wonder if there's any more Real Fish material out there?

Anonymous,

There are 4 albums by Real Fish. I think there is a 12" single too, but I cant remember if I have it. I'll post some more of their stuff later.

This is amazing! Bit Walk is a dream, and even the b-side is highly enjoyable with 水がわたしにくれたもの. Thoroughly enjoying this, thank you!
