The Joint - 19 March 2022

And it only seems like yesterday we were busting out our Casiotone's and aping Wayne Smith's 1985 classic. The hard work had pretty much been done 3 or 4 years earlier when one of Okuda Hiroko's preset rhythm patterns ( called "Rock", would you believe?) was included on the MT-40 keyboard. For an oral history of Sleng Teng have a listen to The Blessed Madonna on BBC Radio 6  and today we salute the rhythm by including Shinehead's "Know How Fe Chat" on the show...
