A: We Are Polysics!

On Saturday I was killing a bit of time by browsing through the Virgin megastore CD racks. I thought that I might find something cheap I'd like in the Sale. Not a sausage, it was all mainstream pap.

I did however stumble across a CD not in the sale called Polysics or Die!!!! by a Japanese band Polysics.

I couldn't remember hearing of them before but the CD looked interesting with track titles like BUGGIE TECHNICA, MAKING SENSE, XCT, ENO and FOR YOUNG ELECTRIC POP. Plus there was a cover of MY SHARONA on it!

Intrigued I decided to buy it.

If you are a fan of Japanese new wave electro pop, Devo, Red Noise, and early XTC (and who isn't?) then I think you'll like this CD. It's a compilation of tracks from several years worth of Polysics albums. There are obvious nods to Red Noise and YMO on it. Great fun and a good blind purchase.
