A colorful blend of electro-pop, video game fun and experimental bliss, Minikon celebrates melody and happiness without apology. In a field of music with so many possibilities, I choose the path paved with smiles....
Minikon currently has two albums ('Minikon' and 'Super Minikon') and a live CD-R available from Basix Disc Japan. The third album 'Hope' will be available before fall of 2007.
From Basix.com:
"70年代後期マイコンやインベーダーゲームが登場し
激変した日本文化の波をまともに受け、
Y.M.O.の出現とファミコン文化が存在しなければ
自身の音楽活動も有り得なかったと
極親日派を公言する「ミニコン」。
そのサウンドはユニークでダンサブルな
新世代テクノポップ！
Y.M.O.、クラフトワーク、80`sNWを
継承しつつも「新しい」"
The always reliable 'Babel Fish' engrish translation:
"The wave of the Japanese culture where seventies latter-term micro-computers and the invader game appear and change suddenly is received honestly, Y.M.O. If appearance and Family Computer culture did not exist, unless either itself music activity could be, polar parent day group is declared "the mini computer". As for the sound being unique, the dancer bull the new generation techno pop! Y.M.O. While, craft work, succeeding 80`sNW, "it is new"."
... well, I think that sums it up quite nicely!
