Our Take

YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA - Bgm

Anyone who has a pulse (or a beat, if we're talking about music here) has heard of Yellow Magic Orchestra. These pioneers of electronic music are back with their album "Bgm," and let me tell you, it's like a musical journey through a neon-lit cyberpunk city.

The album kicks off with the infectious track "1000 Knives," a mesmerizing blend of synth-pop and futuristic soundscapes that will make you want to dance like it's 1981. And let's not forget about "Cue," a track that sounds like it belongs in a video game soundtrack from the future. It's catchy yet complex, just like a Rubik's Cube made out of sound waves.

But the real star of the show is "Music Plans," a track that showcases the band's signature sound in all its glory. It's like a sonic rollercoaster that takes you through layers of glitchy beats and ethereal melodies, leaving you breathless and wanting more.

Overall, "Bgm" is a triumph for Yellow Magic Orchestra. It's a reminder that electronic music can be both innovative and nostalgic, a testament to the band's enduring influence on the genre. So sit back, relax, and let the music transport you to a world where robots rule the dance floor and synthesizers are king. Trust me, you won't regret it.
