'Sold State Survivor' - Yellow Magic Orchestra (1979)

'BGM' - Yellow Magic Orchestra (1981)

'Technodelic' - Yellow Magic Orchestra (1981)

 

A crminally underated band and two criminally underated albums. Most electronic bands from that particular era sound incredibly dated by now but YMO, like Kraftwerk before them, sound fresh especially on 'Technodelic'. Anybody who liked 'Get Innocuous!' - and face it, who didn't - will love these two albums as much as James Murphy obviously does.

 

I suppose they sound like a looser Kraftwerk mixed with the later soundtrack work of founder member, Ryuichi Sakamoto. Funky, austere yet modern.

 

 

 

If you only only going to buy one early 80's Japanese electronic pop album this year etc, etc...........
