Our Take
The year was 1978. The world was in the midst of disco fever, but in the midst of the neon lights and glitter balls, a group of Japanese pioneers emerged onto the scene. Yellow Magic Orchestra burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut album, a quirky, eccentric blend of electronic music that would change the course of music history forever. From the infectious synth melodies of "Computer Game" to the futuristic funk of "Firecracker," Yellow Magic Orchestra proved themselves to be ahead of their time. With their masterful production skills and quirky sense of humor, they created a sound that was equal parts retro and cutting-edge. Listening to this album is like taking a trip into a musical time machine. The bleeps and bloops of their electronic instruments transport you to a world where robots rule the dance floor and the future is now. It's a wild, exhilarating ride that never fails to surprise and delight. So if you're looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary, a little bit quirky, and a whole lot of fun, look no further than Yellow Magic Orchestra. Trust us, you won't be disappointed. Pitchfork rating: 9.0
