Description
Limited 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert. Housed in a PVC sleeve. While Kraftwerk was emerging in Europe and became an influence and inspiration to the Japanese superstars, YMO stayed true to their unique sound. YMO’s second album Solid State Survivor was released in 1979 and represented numerous crossover tracks from techno to new wave. Solid State Survivor is probably the most sampled YMO album, as over the years several artists performed numerous covers of ‘Behind The Mask’. This extremely popular album peaked at #1 in several charts all over the world.

定番中の定番ですが、やっぱりすごいよね。YMO。収録曲全部がメガ有名どころなのもすごい１枚。古く感じないのもすごい１枚。え、この作品、何十年前？昭和だよね、たしか。

LP盤は中古しかないと思っていたのですが、こちらの新品を発見し、購入しました。一つ残念であったのはアルバムカバーの紙が昔のものに比べてかなり薄いことです。

昔レコード持っていたのですが数十年経って再購入。東風と中国女が入っていないことに後で気づく。音圧弱く録音レベル低い。音はお世辞にも良いとは言えない、いや悪い。

学生時代のアルバムで当時買えなかった１枚。アルバムはジャケットも含めて楽しむ派なのでCDになっても同じジャケ写なのが嬉しい。お馴染みの曲が入っているのでYMOどこから聴こうと思っている方にはおすすめの１枚かな

当時はピコポコ星人の薄っぺらい音だと酷評されていたこともあった様ですが、最初にこれを聴いた時は衝撃的で「今までにない音楽だ」と感動した記憶があります。今聞けば確かに薄っぺらい部分はありますが（笑）青春時代にこれを聴いた世代なら懐かしく楽しめると思います。何しろデジタルレコーディングも確立していない当時に数億円とも言われたコンピューター機器を用いてデジタル音楽に挑戦したYMOは間違いなく来るべきデジタル時代の先駆者だったと思います。

Un disco MARAVILLOSO
Puro tecno innovación. Human League se inspiraron mucho en ellos para otros trabajos

From the golden age of analog synthesis — don’t miss it
Many of the cuts on this CD were originally released on a vinyl record called “X Multiplies”, with replicated mannequins of Sakamoto, Hosono, and Takahashi on the cover, staring at the camera. It was one of the coolest covers ever! It kinda makes you miss the days when cover art was, to a large extent, what sold music. Solid State Survivor was released later. There is no question in my mind that the loss of the phonograph record, with it’s lush graphic format and large size, forever diminished the meaning and importance of recorded music.There are many wonderful cuts on this essential YMO CD, among them “Behind The Mask”, with it’s incredibly tight vocoder vocal and percussion section, and a beautifully symmetrical harmonic structure that I have always found irresistible. It’s one of my three favorite songs of all time — I am a pro musician myself with a very broad musical perspective, and I’m telling you, I never tire of “Behind The Mask”. I was surprised to hear that other artists, including Michael Jackson, had covered “Behind The Mask”. I had no idea that Behind the Mask was the hit on the album — I thought it was an obsession that i alone had. Not true. Technopoly is pretty cool too. Nearly all the tracks are excellent, but Behind The Mask remains a classic for all time.I recently saw YMO’s return concert at the Hollywood Bowl (“big in Japan” June 2011) — they hadn’t played LA since 1979, and I was thrilled to see them up there on the stage. Takahashi was an outstanding drummer after all these years. Computer Game was first and Behind the Mask was second on the program, which delighted me no end. Yoko Ono made a surprise appearance at the end of the program and the closing cut was none other than “Hello Goodbye” from the Beatles.I can’t strongly enough recommend YMO’s other albums, as well, especially BGM and Technodelic was also groundbreaking. It’s techno rock and it doesn’t get any cleaner or tighter than this.
