Ongaku - Japanese word for music.
Mihon - Japanese word for sample or specimen.
But alas, the Ongaku group on this release from Pod Communication were not Japanese, but German. One of them, Uwe Schmidt got played by Peel around six months before this show as part of Bi-Face. There appear to be around 5 different Mihon tracks put out by Ongaku (3 were on the Mihon 12-inch and 2 more came out on compilations) of which Mihon #1 is by far the most danceable, although it’s more subtly constructed than your average banger. The other 4 Mihons lean more towards ambient trance and given his love of Star Trek, Peel would have found much to enjoy on the samples used on Mihon #2. However, Mihon #1 is the one to have on while you’re doing something. Given the swishing noises that form a backdrop to large parts of the track, it’s music for artexing to.
