P-Model - One Pattern LP (Alfa, 1986)

Tracklisting

Side A
Oh Mama!
Licorice Leaf
Astro Notes
Möbius Band
Drums

Side B
Zebra
Oyasumi Dog
Another Day
Harmonium
Sunpaleets

Here's P-Model's nearly-as-good follow-up to Karkador and their final album before going on a 6-year hiatus. Some really wonderful, spastic technopop production going on here, especially on tracks like Licorice Leaf and Oyasumi Dog. Those of you who are anime fans might recognize some of the melodies from Zebra, which is practically a blueprint for singer Hirasawa's later work for Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent series.
