At first I thought a cool and minimalistic electric sound was only to be found in the resoundingly German Kraftwerk, but then I found out about the very French Synth Pop happening at around the same time, and that was more than enough for me. Kraftwerk was enough, but now I got to listen to Autobahn followed by Polaroid Roman Photo? As I listen to more of P-Model, I'm hitting my usual Last Days of Man On Earth brought-on brain meltdown as the totally Japanese counterpart enters my consciousness. On my first listen, I found the rhythms too stilted, the melodies too poppy. None of the elements fit together in my head. Goodness knows what happened since then, but it all sounds so cohesive, so well executed. It's got that James Brown feeling of never playing a wrong note, just the best notes and chords possible, one after another. Perfect music again, thanks, Joe. Man does this music grow on me.
