RIP, Ikutaro Kakeshi, founder of Roland, inventor of the TR-808, and the most influential musical pioneer of the last few decades.

I am so pleased this film was treated with the integrity and production value such an iconic invention deserves. my hope is that is spawns a movement of documentaries focused on other seminal electronic instruments and their legacy like the Prophet 5, the MPC, the controversial DX-7, or the sacred Fairlight. It's a ripe time in history for it.

Definitely a movie for old heads anybody born in the 90's and past that won't remember a time before 808

"It had its own groove" "you can't recreate that groove" bla bla bla...
Of course you fucking can. It is not the groove of the 808 that was special, it was the SOUND!

[kiloband]

 From Roland's own blog : One of the first available units was picked up by the hugely innovative Yellow Magic Orchestra who would use the 808 in a live performance in December of 1980, while Australian producer Mark Moffatt has been officially recognized as the first to put the 808 on record with The Monitors’ 1981 track ‘Nobody Told Me’
