In fact 6,5 studio albums wasnt that much considering their combined solo output passes a 100 albums by now, but as said they really wizzed at the time. Making abundant use of new synthesizers, samplers, digital and computer recording technology as it became available, YMO's popularity and influence extended beyond Japan. In fact it was Hosono's previous album 'Paraiso' which started it all, and lay at the base of the name aswell as it was released as Haruomi Hosono and the Yellow Magic Band, anyway track 6 Femme Fatale has the YMO recording together for the first time.įor a few short years YMO were recording, performing and producing others aswell as releasing solo work, i wonder where that Kraftwerk comparison has come from, them germans were never that active, nor have i recognised much humor in their work. However the first album (with its cutting-edge production) was very popular, and the studio project grew into a fully fledged touring band and career for its three members. Xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx YMO was originally conceived as a studio project by Hosono, the other two members being recruited session musicians - the idea was to produce an album fusing orientalist exotica (cf their cover version of Martin Denny's Firecracker) with modern electronics. Want more then there's the double live album recorded when YMO first ventured out of Japan to London, Paris and New York in the late seventies. Ryuichi Sakamoto B-2 Unit - Participation Mystique. Ryuichi Sakamoto War & Peace (Aoki Takamasa Remix).

Ryuichi Sakamoto B-2 Unit - Riot in Lagos. Further more another example from the man of the week Ryuchi Sakamoto.B-2 Unit a classic of it's time and beyond.in flac. You'll get the choice of flac or Ogg 9 for either of their eighties albums here. Meanwhile i found out that my early cd isn't up to scratch as much as i would like.EAC is taking it's time. I had prepared a post then i just found out that, although prepared i never posted my favorite eighties album by them, BGM, although i thought i did.
