Solid State Survivor

Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi's second album packs sequencers, vocoders and pop hooks into eight tracks and thirty-two minutes, including a robotic take on the Beatles' Day Tripper. Technopolis and Rydeen became signature pieces, and Behind the Mask was later recorded by Eric Clapton and Michael Jackson. It is one of the records that taught the world electronic pop could come from Tokyo.
