This band is a tremendous discovery. They are innovators in synth-pop that would dominate the 80s. Likened to Kraftwerk, they actually have more organic instrumentation with a live drummer, Yukihiro Takahashi. His solo stuff is awesome too. They predate Kraftwerk's Computer World in regards to the concept album exploring technological and futuristic themes by three years. If you are looking for music similar to the Human League and Soft Cell, go these guys. They are absolutely way more accessible than the alienating sound of Kraftwerk. YMO make great music.
