1979 Japanese original first pressing on translucent yellow vinyl and red labels; With obi & original printed inner sleeve. Their sophomore effort, recorded at "A" Studio, Shibaura, Tokio. "The trio hit their stride with second album Solid State Survivor, a brisk and confident set of synth-disco-pop that continues along the line drawn five years before by Kraftwerk. Fun-loving and breezy where Kraftwerk had been ponderous and statuesque, the album sets out YMO's template for electronic pop with less minimalism and a more varying use of synthesizer lines. The English lyrics, written by Chris Mosdell but sung by YMO themselves, make for hilarious listening especially on a cover of the Beatles' "Day Tripper"." All Music Guide – John Bush.
