I don't like to "recommend" things very often. (I prefer to suggest. It sounds like less of an endorsement.) Anyway, I have become entranced by the sounds of Yellow Magic Orchestra. They're a Japanese band from the late '70s best known for paving the way for electropop music. Their music videos from "back in the day" are pretty...sick. Perhaps you'll better understand how I mean to use that word by seeing them for yourself:
First, a classic: "Technopolis"
Second, my favorite so far: Rydeen (1979)
They're still around, actually. Check out this live performance of one of their remixes of Rydeen:
They're so old...but so awesome!
