P-Model is the eighth studio album by P-Model and the first by the "defrosted" lineup.

Contents

Background

In the aftermath of the band's hiatus ("freezing") in 1988, P-Model's members went their own separate ways. After releasing three solo albums, frontman Susumu Hirasawa rebuilt the band out of several backing members from his concerts. The new, "defrosted" (解凍) lineup consisted of pre-hiatus P-Model member Hikaru Kotobuki, returning founding member Katsuhiko Akiyama, and associate Yasuchika Fujii.

P-Model officially returned in September 1991.

Composition

On this album, P-Model introduced a machine-like, sci-fi sound to its style, heavily influenced by Amiga computers, which Hirasawa and Kotobuki used for production. This extended to the lyrical themes of the album, being focused on science, technology, and computers.

Track listing

All tracks written by Susumu Hirasawa, except where noted.
