Akai, for the most Avant Garde fans of Stereo Equipment
www.retroist.com
I find this late seventies commercial for Akai stereo equipment to be both confusing and indulgent. Also, with its styling, it feels a bit ahead of its time. So naturally it is now my favorite thing in the world. While I know this was a well planned video with real musicians. It is charming because it feels like they had a few actors show up and they told them to act artsy. This sort of production seemed to peak in the eighties, but for my money, the stuff they did in the seventies was much better
