█▓█ Pioneers in electronic music, the influence of Yellow Magic Orchestra in
█▓█ this field is surpassed only by Kraftwerk. The band's massive commercial
█▓█ profile in their native country was the first example of the Orient
█▓█ grafting Western musical traditions into their own culture - and with
█▓█ Japan the birthplace of the world's technological boom in the late 70s, it
█▓█ was no surprise that the medium chosen was electronic. Session keyboard
█▓█ player Ry√ichi Sakamoto met drummer Yukihiro Takahashi while recording his
█▓█ debut solo album. Takahashi had already released solo work, in addition to
█▓█ being a member of the Sadistic Mika Band (an art-rock conglomeration whose
█▓█ three progressive albums were released in the UK for Harvest Records). He
█▓█ had also played in a subsidiary outfit, the Sadistics. The final member of
█▓█ YMO was recruited when the pair met a further established musician, bass
█▓█ player and producer Haruomi Hosono (as well as playing he would produce
█▓█ the group's first six albums). Having performed with two earlier recorded
█▓█ Japanese outfits, his was the most advanced solo career (he was on his
█▓█ fourth collection when he encountered Takahashi and Sakamoto).
█▓█
█▓█ Although the trio's debut album together was inauspicious, consisting
█▓█ largely of unconnected electronic pulses and flashes, Solid State Survivor
█▓█ established a sound and pattern. With English lyrics by Chris Mosdell, the
█▓█ tracks now had evolved structures and a sense of purpose, and were
█▓█ occasionally deeply affecting. X" Multiplies, however, was a strange
█▓█ collection, comprising comedy skits and no less than two attempts at
█▓█ Archie Bell And The Drells' 'Tighten Up". The UK issue of the same title
█▓█ added excerpts from the debut album (confusingly, a US version was also
█▓█ available, comprising tracks from Solid State Survivor in the main). There
█▓█ were elements of both on BGM and Technodelic which predicted the beautiful
█▓█ synth pop produced by later solo careers, but neither were the albums
█▓█ cohesive or unduly attractive on their own account. More skits, again in
█▓█ Japanese, appeared on Service, masking the quality of several strong
█▓█ songs, leaving Naughty Boys to prove itself Yellow Magic Orchestra's
█▓█ second great album. As with its predecessor, Naughty Boys arrived with
█▓█ English lyrics now furnished by Peter Barakan (later a Takahashi solo
█▓█ collaborator). Accessible and less angular, the songs were no less
█▓█ enduring or ambitious. The band eventually sundered in the early 80s, with
█▓█ Ry√ichi Sakamoto going on to solo and movie fame. His former collaborators
█▓█ would also return to their own pursuits, with Hosono enjoying success in
█▓█ production (Sandii And The Sunsetz, Sheena And The Rokkets, etc.) and
█▓█ Takahashi earning critical plaudits for his prolific and diverse solo
█▓█ output. News filtered through in 1993 that, on the back of interest
█▓█ generated by a number of dance music artists name-checking or simply
█▓█ sampling their wares, Yellow Magic Orchestra were to re-form. The
█▓█ resultant Technodon was completed in March before the trio went their
█▓█ separate ways once again.
