S.S.T. Band (#123)

[Carl]

When referencing a Unit/Group, are there any objections to using a unit's official Logo as the photo?

In some groups the members fluctuate over time, so any specific photo of the PEOPLE probably wouldn't include everyone who's been in the group over the years, so I'd think the band logo would be the best image to use.

[Secret Squirrel]

I've already used the official logos for a couple of groups, so I think it's the right way to go. Ultimately, we'll probably end up with some kind of gallery for the group photos.

The third part of ga-core interview with Kimitaka Matsumae has amazing photos of S.S.T. Band:

In the second page is possible to see the S.S.T. Band's discography. However, I have never heard of these three albums!

- From Ula (91.4.24)
- VIRTUAL AUDIO F-1 GP THE EXHAUST SOUND （92.1.21）
- VIRTUAL AUDIO F-1 GP THE EXHAUST SOUND '92 （93.1.21）

[Myrkul]

If i am right, these F-1 GP albums are on the Pony Canyon/Scitron labels..

But these albums does not look like VideoGameMusic at all.

It looks like it's some original music with race sounds taken from an F-1 track. With the 'stereophonic sound technology' you can feel like you're really there.

[Revoc]

These albums aren't related with game music, but at least VIRTUAL AUDIO F-1 GP THE EXHAUST SOUND '92 (PCCB-00105) has some tracks from Blind Spot album. I'll add as Work.

Hey, Another, many thanks for sharing this scans! The old pictures of Gamadelic and Alph Lyra are amazing too. I think Carl will like this a lot.

Does anyone have seen the exact lineage of SST Band here (http://vgmdb.net/db/covers.php?do=view&cover=78203)?

[Carl]

Any ideas about how we want to link up Blind Spot, which is the "reformed" SST Band?

I've created a new entry for Blind Spot, but haven't added the 6 group members yet, and it should probably be an Alias of S.S.T. Band somehow...

[CHz]

In the past I've made alias entries for groups that reformed or reorganized under a different name, but the major problem with that is that an artist can't be an alias and a group at the same time, so you can't assign members to it. :|

Nowadays I would probably just make a totally separate entry and note the connection with the old group on its page.
