New Wave Outpost Forum

Looking for the releases from this Japanese illusive duo.

Very hard to find any info out there, apart from this:

"...Jullan was a Japanese techno-pop dou formed mainly by the students of Hitotsubashi University.The members are Hiroshi and Atsushi. Ryuichi Sakamoto showed them first in a radio programme. After it they became popular in Japan and one of their song ,"Because Of Love" was used for Kose Cosmetics' Fall '84 campaign. They sent a demo tape to the British "Melody Maker" who extolled them and they even signed a contract in the UK to make their debut record .
Their sound is melodious electro pop.They disbanded after 1985..."

The links for all the albums on the site are a few years old and apparently all dead.

Hopefully someone can dig it out.

Hey Xymox970,

I like Jullan ... just so happens I have a lot of stuff by them. Here's a link to all 3 of their albums:
1984 - Electromance
1984 - Imaginary Doll
1985 - Pulse

Plus a 7" remix of the song "Imaginary Doll". I'd say my favorite track is "Time (For People)" from the Pulse album.

They're not my rips, but they are at least 192K MP3s:

Enjoy!!

Thanks a lot, Crichert and Schwenko for the kind offer as well.

Thanks from me too as I lost mine in a hard drive crash.

I also had a live show from Jullan. It was an audience recording of about 3 three tracks.

I think my favourite track is River Flowing to Death.

The Japanese New Wave band that I have wished for years that they would release their whole catalog on cd.

I know that well, but honesty is a virtue in any case

Well, some of these (at least the two 1984 ones) were in fact circulating in the net quite some time ago on a blog related to japanese music. No idea whether it still exists. If you come across the original zip archives, you might notice the funny date '1984.00.00'. That's them then.

The file doesn't work. Am i doing something wrong?
