By releasing this daring album, YMO shook the world with their synthpop, at the time a revelation as well as a revolution. YMO created their own sound, far ahead of its time. The band was amongst the first to use a 'computer music composer', which was a programmed Roland MC-8 Microcomposer developed by Hideki Matsutake (composer, arranger, and computer programmer). The trio mainly used electronic equipment on this album. The only acoustic instruments used were a piano and marimba percussion set. This type of production was never heard of before and set about a new movement within the music business. Featuring the hit 'Firecracker', an infectious and exotic Martin Denny cover, which became a staple in the early hip-hop scene in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer Game \"Theme From The Circus\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirecracker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmic Surfin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer Game \"Theme From The Invader\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Magic Tong Poo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Femme Chinoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Over Troubled Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMad Pierrot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer Game \"Theme From The Circus\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirecracker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmic Surfin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer Game \"Theme From The Invader\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTong Poo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Femme Chinoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Over Troubled Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMad Pierrot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrobat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yellow Magic Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"2LP \/ Black","offer_id":44274569543871,"sku":"MOVLP1466-BK","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/MHJL-162-YellowMagicOrchestra-YMO-USA.jpg?v=1699236756","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/yellow-magic-orchestra-ymo-usa-2lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
