I like the female vocals on "Tong Poo" for the U.S. mix, but otherwise, the original '78 Japanese mix is WAY better than what Capitol did to it in '79. Especially this song, the U.S. mix has the synth bass lowered way down, while the Japanese mix (which is this exact video) lets the synth bass drive the song.
This is a diffrent mix of the song!I I had the american release of the album, and the organ is much more subdued, and the ending of the son is shorter! Thanks for posting this version of the song!
Bafflingly bizarre, but at the same time really catchy, addictive and hypnotyzing.. the melody on top, the bassline, the chaotic programmed sound bits and collapsing piano line...
YMOを聴き３２年…この年になってもハマってしまう。変わったことといえば、細野の曲がこれほどよいとは気がつかなかった。昔は、坂本：高橋：細野＝5:4:1、だったが、現在は、坂本：高橋：細野＝2:2:6になってしまっていた。知らない間に…

@AWfan52525 This song was composed by Haruomi Hosono.
That's why that bassline is awesome.

I was only 5 years old when this song was released, so if you look at it, this song was ahead of it's time.
