The second song is actually called "Firecracker". It was a cover song YMO did by Martin Denny. ... What plays usually before it is called "Computer Game" with all the old school game FX. :)
Wow, I've been listening to electronic music since the days of acid house, but never heard of YMO. Just found out about them today, I'm so happy right now! Why isn't melodic electronic music like this made anymore!?
Along with Kraftwerk, YMO are largely responsible for the advent of modern forms of electronic music... They were true musical visionaries and pioneers, and significantly influenced the Detroit techno scene (leading to House - Garage - Drum and Bass etc.).
My favourite YMO track is Technopolis, but Behind the Mask is a close second. This is a great mix, and lots of good memories evoked by it... Thanks for sharing!
I agree on YMo as one of the biggest influences on electronic music, and Kraftwerk sure contributed too, But i have to say that Tangerine Dream is the Mother of all european electronic music.
Kraftwerk was originally named Organisation and was formed in 1968... a year after Tangerine Dream.
TD was a pioneer in what is called Berliner Schule.
Maybe someone other than me on Youtube has their own copy of "Best One 81-82' in their album collection.If so,maybe he or she could tell me,then post some or all of it on Youtube.
I started to listen to Y.M.O. in 1984,after 1 of my 2 brothers returned From 6 months in Japan as an exchange student.He let me borrow a cassette album called"Best One 81-82".I got hooked immediately to Y.M.O. on that album,and wish i could remember the first song on it."Tong Poo" is 1 of my favorites,as is "Japanese Gentlemen,Stand up, Please"& "Citizens Of Science".My #1 favorite on "Best One 81-82"is an instrumental that i can't remember the title of.
Techno, definitely, hip-hop, not so much. That genre is mostly rooted in Jamaican popular music. Afrika Bambaata sampling 'Trans-Europe Express' isn't really a major influence.
But I should reiterate that acts like Kraftwerk and YMO were largely responsible for bringing electronic music out of the experimental / realized classical music niche.
YMO is awesome! I bet you've never heard of irish Japanese Popstars though! See their US tour video on our page!

This is a favourite of mine and I remember when they first emerged. In my opinion, YMO and Kraftwerk pioneered the way for Techno and hip-hop.
