I grabbed a lot of 100 minidiscs off Ebay a few months ago and went through them too… I found maybe 2 artists I identified using Shazam, and a bunch of recorded Japanese college classes. Other than that, most was just the Japanese equivalent to factory-created US mainstream pop. 🙂
Nice collection and some interesting and varied artists. If you like Brazilian music, make sure you check out some of the Tropicalia artists like Caetano Veloso, George Ben, Os Mutantes, Gal Costa etc..Beck is a huge fan of Tropicalia.
Thanks Rob. I just read up on Tropicalia, very interesting. Maybe a little early for my tastes, but I'll certainly give your artists recommendations a try. I like to use TH-cam Music to pic a few tracks from an artist, then start their 'radio' function to find other similar tracks, making a playlist as I go from the suggestions. I'll do that over the coming weeks while sitting in the garden, thanks. If Beck was a fan, it will be interesting to see if I can find some of the sounds that influcenced him.
9:28 Definitely Welsh, I sat through too many GCSE Welsh lessons to not recognise that lol!
@@macinjosh2223 Ah, thanks. I hope I still have it. My daughter has been learning Welsh, I'll give it to her. Thanks.

Not much to listen to for 100 discs, then. Were they nice discs?
