Naughty Boys & Instrumental

This is one of the greatest synthpop albums I've ever heard, and I've heard quite a few.Every song is great...there are no duds here. Naughty Boys has stood the test of time as well...a dj could play this and Ladytron back to back and I doubt many would realize that Naughty Boys is over 20 years old.Most of the songs on Naughty Boys are poppy and irresistably dancey. Yukihiro Takahashi's drumming is top notch. There are darker moodier (though still dancable) moments with the brilliant 'Lotus Love'. Some songs feature the dreamy e-bow guitar by Bill Nelson, which just adds to its brilliance.Some exceptional songs are Lotus Love, Kimi Ni Mune Kune, Ongaku, Wild Ambitions. But make no mistake, there are NO bad songs on the cd.Most of the lyrics are in Japanese. There is also an interview with all the members in the cd booklet but it too is in Japanese. The 2nd cd features all the songs instrumental versions, except for Kimi Ni Mune Kune which is replaced by Chaos Panic. I myself prefer the cd with lyrics.Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, Ultravox and The Human League have gotten a lot of recognition for their music over the years, but YMO deserve just as much.

Received on time, new. Vinyl is eu pressing packageing is excellent. I have japan pressing sounds a little better no serface noise. All in all the reissue is good for me I have a new jt555 cartridge from japan, sounds great to me.....ymokicksbut in long beach.....mph

While it is amybe their most slick record, it is not as satisfying as previous YMO releases. As allways there is some good stuff for those interested in electronic music.

This album is great! I do not know why they did not have huge hits in the US. This is my favorite YMO album despite its silly title.

great sound gets better each time you listen to it.

So good to have YMO on CD A great band lots of happy times a must buy at their heights

nice music

アジアンテイストな「邂逅」が特に好き♡です。前作のテクノデリック「後奏」で悲しい気持ちになりましたが、このアルバムで¨大丈夫だょ¨って、おじさま方がおっしゃってるかのようです(〃▽〃)♪　歌詞カードが入ってませんでしたが、リマスタリングされてるみたいで、もう完璧なサウンド☆に¨キュン♡¨です。

当時、お小遣いが無かったので、レンタルレコードからカセットテープにダビングしたもので楽しんでいました。当時モノのレコード現物へのこだわり等無ければ、楽曲を聞くのが目的なら、何の支障もありません。インスト盤と２枚組で売られているのを知らなかったので、お得感ニジュウマル◎でした。
