Outer Limits is a progressive rock band that has carved its own unique space in the annals of Japanese music. Originating from Japan, the group has been known for their sophisticated blend of intricate compositions, skilled musicianship, and elements of symphonic rock that often draw comparisons to the stylings of early European progressive rock acts. They emerged in the 1980s during a time when the progressive rock scene was undergoing a revival of sorts, especially in Japan, where the genre enjoyed a loyal following.

Throughout their career, Outer Limits has remained steadfast in their dedication to producing complex and melodious music, evident in releases like "The Silver Apples On the Moon" and "The Scene of Pale Blue," both of which showcase the band’s penchant for combining lyrical storytelling with elaborate musical arrangements. Albums such as "Outer Mania" and "Misty Moon" further cement the band’s legacy, displaying their evolving sound and deepening compositional skills. With "Outer Limits / Floored Masters-Past Imperfect," the group re-visits and re-imagines their past works, offering a fresh perspective on their musical journey. "Stromatolite," continuing their tradition of poetic album titles, is yet another entry in their discography that reinforces Outer Limits' position as torchbearers of the Japanese prog-rock scene and underlines their talent for crafting songs that are as timeless as they are complex.
