"nightsongs": Images of 1984 New York (1986 High Quality 60FPS Laserdisc Video Album)

This is the 1986 LaserDisc "nightsongs" (SM058-3366) featuring the video production of the great avant-garde filmmaker Taka Iimura & the saxophone, flute, piano, and percussions of Toshiyuki Honda & synthesizers of Keiji Toriyama. The video features some very vintage images of New York, some stylized to look like they came out of a 1930's who-done-it while some others are just artistic shots of the city. The music, which is based on classic Jazz standards, is an interesting mixture of straight-forward jazz & experimental synth-pop which complements the footage pretty well. The music itself was recorded in 1986 while the video footage (based on the movie titles in the videos) was shot in late 1984!
