My favorite YMO album. Solid State Survivor.
Technopolis, Rydeen (is there a more happy synth tune out there), behind the mask, so much groove and so much dopamine inducing timbres. And the beautiful darkness of castalia and of insomnia. this Yellow Magic Orchestra album sold over 2 million #vinyl copies and we'll over a quarter million #cassette

Another couple sleeper #synth #NewAge #jazz gems I picked up this year: both the S/T and Design from Interior. The S/T was produced in part by Haruomi #Hosono of #YMO fame. It is virtuosic and spacious, with more to hear on each listen. If YouTube comments are to be believed, the Japanese pressing of the S/T seems to have a different mix and slightly different tracklist. I dunno- I only have the #WindhamHill version, and that's pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYm13RWz9tI&list=PL9D83B4ADF04805E4
