Excerpt - Owen Hatherley on the music of 1980s Japan

Owen Hatherley joins the show to discuss his love of 1980s Japanese
pop and ambient. Although much of the episode is on the music
itself, we do touch on the politics - particularly how these
artists were influenced by and reacting to the culture of the 1960s
New Left, during the extraordinary economic boom of the 1980s, and
how some of these musicians reintegrated the memory of 20th century
Japanese imperialism in Asia into their music. Become a £5 PTO
