Question
I've asked everyone that I know of about this song and I've finally given up. Now I'm coming to the experts. This is an instrumental that was played during the late 70s or early 80s. I'm not sure, but I think that it was done using midi if that info was any help in the description. The song also had a very heavy influence using the Asian 5 tone folk scale. At the very end of the song it played a rapid series of arpeggios and ends with a final explosion.

Please help me to find the name and artist for this song. T
he last time I heard it was in Junior High School (during the late 70s/early 80s).

Thank you,

Andre

Hi Andre,

The song you're looking for is "Computer Games" by Yellow Magic.

Here's a clip on YouTube

Keep in mind that this is the 12" version so it has a lengthy intro before the music starts; but at 1:50 of the segment, the music kicks in...

Hope this helps!
