Yellow Magic Orchestra

“YMO Live At The Greek Theatre 08/04/1979” (Alfa MHJL‑441) bottles Yellow Magic Orchestra’s American breakthrough. Sakamoto, Hosono and Takahashi attack their technopop with razor‑tight drumming, sinewy synth‑bass and clockwork sequences, turning avant‑electronic ideas into pop adrenaline. The set list is concise and explosive, capturing the moment Japanese futurism gripped LA. Cut from archival sources and pressed with care, it’s history you can dance to—vintage circuitry, human precision and showman sparkle.
