LPs or CDs of any given item.In 1983, after 1982 being a sort of hiatus to
do solo work, they decided to wrap up the project and record their farewells.On the 10th anniversary of the breakup they decided to reform
as notYMO for a high profile one shot album and live show.Sakamoto's exact involvement, it gets
confusing, I'm waiting for someone to sort it out.Japanese CDs tend to sound inferior to the newer remasterings, so should
be avoided unless you are a big collector.See the individual album listings
for details on each specific release.The only advantage to the U.Probably just for more serious collectors
at this point.Then in 1999 collectors were surprised to find that Mitsuo
Koike at AST Studio remastered everything with Hosono supervising.Each time the packaging is
a bit different but the sound is the same and better than previous CD transfers.In January, 2003 Sony Music
House reissued the albums again using the same remasters.This album has an exotica flavor that the latter albums
don't have.The Big Moog sound struck me as having more of a Wendy Carlos sound
than Kraftwerk, who they were styling themselves after.This album with its video game sfx and synth drums, along with Kraftwerk,
was a big influence on early Hip Hop.M, when they got the US rights to this album reworked the material a
bit via editing and mastering.Or maybe fans were hungry enough for
more YMO that they'd buy alternate versions.So both versions are out in Japan
and can be differentiated by the tabletop cover or the woman cover.US LP of Xoo Multiplies (see below) but
3 tracks never came out in the US on LP.Sakamoto who appears to do more compositionally
on this album, Haruomi Hosono having done more on the first.XooMultiplies, the "oo" being the infinity symbol.This original consisted of the YMO pieces fairly integrated into the Snakeman
Show comedy sketches with interruptions and sudden transitions.This same adapted version later came out in Japan as an alternate
version, both being available.This version was last available in 1999, Sony has not as yet reissued
it.Japan with comedy sketches relating to the songs.TV Commercial style YMO jingle.EP with 5 of the 8 tracks from of the never released in the US
as an LP Solid State Survivor.Solid State Survivor which was making its U.US fans who had the 80s LP version which was quite different
from the Restless CD.THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, then the original LP track running order.One of the great electronic albums of all time.BGM is a Japanese music
biz term for background music.YMO came back after a hiatus working on solo projects for about a year.YMO up and do it with style by the end of
1983 so they put all their effots into it.Nelson plays guitar becomming an integral part of this YMO sound.You've Got To Help Yourself
is replaced by a long version.Never came out in the U.Sony Canada and EU does the same.The writing is more varried
too.Yen Box 2
OKV stands for Original Karaoke Version
Propaganda (Original Studio ver.Kimi ni Mune Kyun (OKV) 4.You've Got To Help Yourself (okv) 4.Shadows on The Ground (OKV) 4.After Service when it came out on CD, and use tapes of different
concerts than on Complete Service.The 10th disc is unique to theis set
aside from the huge YEN Box set.CD singles
Another annoying collectable.There was a now expired trivia
contest to win a bonus EP that appears to contain much more collectable material.YMO: Live Albums
As there is substantial amounts of live shows on video I question the large amounts
of live CDs.That with some videos seemed like the right amount to me.There is some kind of 1 track difference between US and Japanese versions to
annoy collectors or prospective import purchasers.The above incorrect English
is exactly what the label on the CD says, not "Live at the Greek Theater" as I guess they mean to call it.The compilation box Techno Bible has 4 songs not included on the lp.Okay, this was compiled from several live shows from this late tour.Then in 1999 Hosono himself supervised the exact contents of the original intact
LP version (19 tracks) remastered on 2 CDs which was reissued by Sony in 2003.YMO track fans always get excited over but isn't
all that much to actually listen to.Unless you are a serious collector there is no benefit in getting it.Ten years after they split up, Hosono, Sakamoto and Takahashi got back together
in 1993 to do a studio album and a big concert.It seems Alfa had financial problems
at the time but still had the rights to the name "YMO".There is an "X" over the
letters "YMO" wherever it appears.I've listed all the releases from this project here, instead of splitting them
up in live and studio categories.Later
pressings (seen above) left them visible and skipped including the decoder.Guest narration by William
S.Not much YMO content seems to be left, though the
same holds true for the Orb's next remix.Hope You Choke On Your Whale Meat Mix)
Here the Orb take over and basically use only small amounts of YMO material and
construct their own dubs.The very clever UK design studio, Designers Republic, do the
album design.Here they do a decent design for I believe their first Japanese
commission.InDo (Masters at Work Remix) 7.Not that its an unforgivable
crime, but it has a certain feel of maxing out on something not very substantial.Junior Vasquez mix would be
on the album proper (but wasn't).Remixes called Junior's Magic Orchestra,
but I've not heard it.Many thanks to Gregor Meyer for the info!Takahashi collaborative project with Sakamoto as sometime guest!Compilation, design, and layout of this
