I've always been a YMO fan...I think nearly everything they've done is great, but recently I've been blasting this album quite a bit. I cannot believe this thing is 30 years old; there's such a ridiculous amount of technology on it, and you can hear different things depending on the stereo that you listen to it on. Have been listening to it in the car once a week for the past two months and it does not get old. Every track is great in its own right and some of them were ridiculously ahead of their time. Everything seems to take a different approach but it all works. You get great 808 sounds ("1000 Knives"), incredible balladry ("Cue"), fantastic takes on the avant-garde ("Happy End", "Loom"), and a chilling electro-symphony ("Mass"), as well as several things I can't even really identify. Just wondering if anyone else here has heard it; I'm getting into a lot of older technopop music and this, to me, sounds like an all-time classic. It came out in 1980 and to this day does not really sound dated. Anyone else with me???
