New Math


As far as adamantly vague, hand wavy cultural generalizations/observations go one of my favorite is the way in which the French have a way of leading you right to the Japanese and vice versa. As far as platforms for advancing said ramblings go this very website before you stands as one of the best I have, and so from Mr. Hallyday today we turn to the Yellow Magic Orchestra, and a few tracks from their 1980 album '×∞Multiplies' ('Zoshoku', lit. 'multiplication'). Break out the times tables:



Yellow Magic Orchestra - Behind The Mask (1980) (buy)



Yellow Magic Orchestra - Technopolis (1980) (buy)



Yellow Magic Orchestra - Rydeen (1980) (buy)

BONUS: Definitely worth mentioned these guys appeared alongside Material on the 'Disco Not Disco 3' compilation with this track.
