I can't imagine an artist like LA getting signed to a major label today. Tom Waits is another. Zappa. There are quite a few of em. So much great music being left behind. Pity.

The Last Emperor
Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne & Cong Su

Haven't seen the movie. But this soundtrack is magnificent!
Because Sakamoto & Byrne have 1/2 each, I wonder if there was a bitter behind-the-scenes battle for the full commission. Worked out.

If you can learn all of Steve's parts, that's all you'll ever need to be a great guitarist. Forget about the songwriting - you can't do that.

Even though the Moody Blues were hugely successful in their 60s-70s heydey, and again in the 80s, their legacy seems overshadowed by their (lesser) contemporaries. I don't understand it. Now with John's death only Justin Hayward remains.☹️
