Solid State Warrior is the debut solo record by American musician Roger Joseph Manning, Jr., released on March 5, 2005 through the (now defunct) Weedshare music distribution service.

Before beginning his solo career, Manning was best known for his work with Jellyfish, Imperial Drag and the Moog Cookbook.

[4] Later in 2006, the album was re-released internationally under the title The Land of Pure Imagination on Cordless Recordings with three different tracks.

"What You Don't Know About The Girl", "Sleep Children" and "'Til We Meet Again" were replaced with "Pray for the Many", "In the Name of Romance" and "Appleby".

To summarize he notes that the album "continues in the sunny power pop mold; it doesn't tip over into exceedingly twee or baroque territory, but rather emphasizes bright melodies and playful arrangements.
