Yellow Magic Orchestra - Rydeen (BARx Cover)

Now available on streaming services! https://ffm.to/barxrydeen

This is my cover of "Rydeen" by Japanese band Yellow Magic Orchestra, from their groundbreaking 1979 album Solid State Survivor. YMO were pioneers of synth-pop and electronic music in general, and were extremely influential to electronic music scenes across the world for decades to come. In addition, their massive success in Japan also went on to influence many video game composers of the 80's and early 90's.

By the way, if you're unfamiliar with YMO, I encourage you to check out their 1980 Budokan performance of this song - their live rig was insane, and must have been such a complicated technical feat to pull this off at each show:
