YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA

Sometimes I think i shouldn't bother reviewing at all on Prog Archives. Maybe I'm on the wrong web site. I mean, why have I ended up in a deep black hole where no one has listened to the 'Yellow Magic Orchestra'? It's clearly not prog, but this is my favourite music website. Should I even bother writing a review?

I once did Bowie's 'Scary Monsters' which didn't belong here either - but it's one of my favourite albums of all time. I don't know why I bothered then either. I've got that out of place Iron Maiden feeling - Yeeeeuuchhh!

This is ultimately Japanese doing Kraftwerk, and it's bloody great. Far more lively and light hearted and full of great synths from 1978 with the girly looking Ryuichi Sakamoto of 'Merry Chrismas Mr Lawrence' fame on keyboards. Almost as good as 'Mensch Maschine' from the same year. I review my albums as a whole... not prog albums. I guess no one will ever read this review, because basically this album is the last place anyone searching on the internet would look for it . Sod it! I don't care... It's a 4 star!
