The fact that you included Skinny Puppy (normally forgotten) made me super happy. Thank you.

That cowbell is prob one of the most recognizable sounds in music. Like I recognized it many years before I knew what the 808 was

Lovely YMO at the end. :) And of course we lost both Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto this year too. :(

The Egyptian Lover deserves a mention! He championed the 808 throughout his whole career and taught Luke Skyywalker to program the machine, who went on to form 2 Live Crew and pioneer miami bass<br>Btw didn’t know that A Guy Called Gerald was part of 808 State! Thanks for the great video and history lesson 👏

As somebody who has been both a Hip Hop and a Techno Industrial DJ, I really appreciate you did not skip "Dig It" by Skinny Puppy. Back in the days I used to fake out the Goth kids in the mix by throwing Hip Hop acapellas over this and other Electro Industrial rhythms. Thank You for showing the whole picture!

As a child of the 80s and a teenager of the 90s I'd like to thank Kikumoto-san for designing a range of instruments which were a commercial failure, and as a result allowed a whole host of producers to develop a sound which was so influential to my younger self. Thanks to you Cap'n and the lady with the beautiful hands for another great showcase recreation of those classic beats!
