thinking about ratchet emotes....

Soundwave, based on the cover of S·F·X by Haruomi Hosono (1984)

I don't own this album physically, but I'll still place my current thoughts about it here! I think it's brilliant. The cover has some insane halftone that I unfortunately don't yet know how to replicate. I'm only now getting into the Yellow Magic Orchestra rabbit hole, and I think it's wild that albums like this existed in the early 80s. The non-standard bits are fascinating without making me feel like I'm going insane (looking at you Philharmony). I'd say the most approachable tracks are Body Snatchers (I prefer the original mix to the special mix), Androgena (my favorite!), and Strange Love. Dark Side of the Star is also approachable, but is nothing like the rest of the album. If you want to give this album a shot, I'd recommend listening to those first and then the whole thing, otherwise you probably won't like it---unless you're already into experimental and/or 80s music. But I'm no connoisseur. I just like 80s synth. 3-6-9 is definitely what Soundwave hears in the shadowzone, though.
