Hello, J-Aetix coming up and that means lot's of YMO as i can't rip any vinyl at the moment. 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. 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. You'll get the choice of flac or Ogg 9 for either of their eighties albums here. 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. 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. 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.
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. 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.
For 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. 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 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. A decade later they got together again but the release of that album was marred by a rights issue about the YMO name and some samples, though Technodon is a good album they found out that working together as YMO no longer provided the energy and inspiration it once did. Though Hosono and Takahashi with the occasional dash of Sakamoto have released several albums these last years under the name of Sketch Show.On a number of occasions Ryuichi Sakamoto has joined in on Sketch Show performances and recording sessions. He later proposed they rename the group Human Audio Sponge when he participates. In August 2007, the band once again reformed, taking the name HASYMO or HAS/YMO, combining the names of Human Audio Sponge and Yellow Magic Orchestra.
Their first single under this name, 'Rescue', was written for the film Appleseed EX Machina. They released a new two song single titled 'The City of Light/Tokyo Town Pages' on August 6, 2008. In August 2009, the band played the World Happiness festival in Japan, featuring many Japanese artists. The band closed the night, and confirmed that 'Yellow Magic Orchestra' is their official name, dropping the HASYMO title.
They opened with a cover of 'Hello, Goodbye' and performed old YMO songs along with their newer songs. In August 2010, YMO once again closed their World Happiness festival. They added classic songs from their back catalog into their set list. In January 2011, KCRW announced for their World Festival concert series that Yellow Magic Orchestra will perform at the Hollywood Bowl on June 26, 2011.Not long after, a concert for June 27, 2001 at The Warfield was added.It was announced in February that YMO will perform at the Fuji Rock festival in July and the World Happiness festival 2011 on 7 August.
