Our Take

Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Solid State Survivor" is a colourful, sci-fi inspired journey into the world of electronic music that feels both effortlessly cool and undeniably ahead of its time. From the moment the vibrant synths of "Technopolis" kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. This album is a perfect example of the innovative sound that YMO brought to the table in the late 70s and early 80s. Tracks like "Rydeen" and "Solid State Survivor" showcase the band's ability to create infectious, danceable tunes that still feel fresh decades later. The catchy melodies and pulsating beats will have you bopping along in no time. But it's not all just fun and games - tracks like "Absolute Ego Dance" and "Mad Pierrot" show a darker, more introspective side to the band's music. The haunting vocals and intricate instrumentals create a sense of mystery and depth that keeps you coming back for more. Overall, "Solid State Survivor" is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Whether you're a die-hard YMO fan or a newcomer to the band's sound, this album is sure to leave you feeling inspired and entertained. So go ahead, press play and let Yellow Magic Orchestra take you on a sonic adventure like no other. Cheers, mate!
