The answer is halfway down this Japanese page: http://www6.plala.or.jp/tk_homepage/disco/disco.html It appears to say that the other tracks or artists are: The Square + Time Cycle |

Actually it is not THE SQUARE/Time cycle. It is actually a very common classical piece that I hear every year or so but have been unable to get the artist/title for. |

Perhaps you could have a listen to "Time Cycle" (the CD is made by Sony): http://cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=97153331/pagename=/RP/CDN/CLASS/muzealbum.html/itemid=451113 This piece by Lukas Foss has been mentioned as one of the top pieces of classical music of the last century: http://www.avguide.com/film_music/music/top100classical.html |

Thanks for the attempt. I did listen to the pieces of Time Cycle. It is not the song. I know that on the latter models of the sony walkman a different demo tape was included that also had jungle strut, perhaps Time Cycle was on that tape. |

Geee.. I've even listened to that tape in 1982 as my bro' had a Sony Walkman 2... I didn't think to prime myself by embeding it in my memory so I could answer a question 20 years later! The Jungle Strut track was the more memorable funky beat. From vague memory, the A side 'may' have been a modern (slightly electro synthesised) rendition of a classical song called Toccata regards lot-ga |
