Song title: Rise

Year: 1986

Why I like this song:

I've seen a lot anger at Tony Abbot here online and for some reason this came to mind.
Still a benchmark of righteous wrath ("Anger is an Energy!")

Choon of the Month: Ocean

Song title: Ocean

Year: 2014

Why I like this song:

It has enough rock muscle to break any door down but then it goes into a different tempo. Certainly an odd move but that's what makes it so memorable.

The Asian Connection: Royal Space Force Main Theme


Original video located here. Accessed 5th May 2019

Song title: Royal Space Force Main Theme

Artist: Ryuichi Sakamoto

Year: 1987

Why I like this song:

Calling it now: Royal Space Force (Wings of Honneamise) has one of the greatest soundtracks, anime or otherwise. And this is the best representation of it: Exotic, unfamiliar and yet still familiar, utilising a great leitmotif and evocative of building and progression. Simple but magnificent.
