Our Take

Oh, jolly good day chaps and chapettes! Today, we have the pleasure of diving into the electronic wonderland that is YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA's "Solid State Survivor." This album is like a cheeky blend of traditional Japanese sounds with futuristic synth-pop vibes that will have you grooving like a loony all night long.

From the moment you press play, you'll be transported to a technicolour dreamland where robots and samurais dance hand in hand. Tracks like "Behind the Mask" and "Rydeen" are absolute bangers that will have you bopping your head and tapping your toes like a right nutter. The intricate production and catchy melodies are enough to make even the Queen of England break out in a proper jig.

But don't be fooled by the catchy tunes and whimsical melodies – there's a cheeky bit of social commentary hidden beneath the surface. Tracks like "Absolute Ego Dance" and "Mad Pierrot" explore themes of identity and society in a way that's as thought-provoking as it is danceable.

Overall, "Solid State Survivor" is a proper cracker of an album that will have you grinning like a Cheshire cat from start to finish. So put on your best bowler hat, grab a cuppa, and prepare to be whisked away on a musical journey like no other. Pip pip, cheerio!
