[cgramer]

Anybody know where I can get one of those "YMO" shirts they're wearing? :-)

[Electribes9321]

The original 1 is great,but,i think they use samplers instead of the woman who played addtional keyboard at the back.Anyway,great stuff !!

[nicck]

@Electribes9321 That's Akiko Yano, Sakamoto's ex wife and a pretty good solo musician.

"Endless notes, identical faces"

[crzy4muscl]

does anyone know what the female voice is saying?

[psirou]

Some stereotypes about chinese women - that they are discreet, have small feet, walk clumsily...

@psirou

YMO is from Japan.....

[ajittffcure]

Nice track. It reminds me of a track by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I think they might have been influenced by Yellow Magic Orchestra.

[shinysynthcity]

@ajittffcure It's strange; whenever the British synth bands such as OMD talk about their influences, Kraftwerk are always top of the list, but YMO never seem to get a mention (which is a shame because YMO are amazing!) . . .

hmmm . . .

[dissident93]

@shinysynthcity Although almost all Japanese game composers mention YMO as a influence.

Ah Yeah...Love, love, love the little girls voice on this. I wanted to marry her when I was a little kid....Did Visage copy this idea for "Fade to Grey"?

1st band i ever saw in concert. Probably 1979/1980 at the Apollo, Victoria in London. Great stuff.

[ajittffcure]
