ReStructure Mix Update (1/6/18) "Life In Tokyo” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Japan




Japan is an art rock band from the late-70s bringing a touch of glam to their music and unique. In 1979 the band was paired with disco producer Giorgio Moroder for a single titled “Life In Tokyo” which is one of the pieces that followers of Moroder’s work will find a detour in theme and vocals yet close to the computer age sound of disco which he brought to life. Deeply moody and slightly uplifting this piece has always been one of genius as touches of the disco electronic pulses bring a new sound to new life.

I have taken the 12” single version of “Life In Tokyo” and used the synths and some familiar parts of Moroder’s “E=Mc2” album into this ReStructure Mix. More of the soft jittery synthesizers are transformed into long breaks for a long adventure into this glam-disco number.
