YMO was founded in Tokyo,
Japan by Riuichi Sakamoto, Yukihiro Takahashi and
Haruomi Hosno in 1987. The trio released their
first album "Solid State Survivor" the same year.
This song is taken from there, showing a fine
example of greatly produced synth pop. YMO is
often mentioned next to Kraftwerk as one of the
most influential pioneers of today's electronic
dance music.
I loved them so much, when I was around 15 years old, I even learned how to write down all the tracks in Japanese!
How the hell did I found about a Japanese band from behind the iron curtain in Hungary? My friend (who moved back to Budapest from Tokyo) was a huge YMO fan, and had all the records...
