Description

Pioneers, innovators, explorers, extraordinary, ambitious, fearless, contemporary, artistic, talented; these are just a few of the references made to identify YMO. The collaboration started in 1978 in Tokyo by keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto, drummer Yukihiro Takahashi and bassist Haruomi Hosono. YMO took their chance and showed the world what they were capable of with new technology made available to them at the time. In the course of their careers in the music business, YMO got involved in film music, collaborations with artists all over the scope (from Hip-Hop to Rock), inventing the House/Acid sound and getting involved in numerous projects. The impact of this Japanese trio is not to be reckoned with and has become a given, inspiring many in the music industry.

YMO‘s 2nd live album “After Service”, recorded during their world tour 1983/1984 and released in 1984. Again YMO succeeded in producing a live album with incredible audio quality. Vibrant, lively, energetic and infectious as ever, the crowds canít seem to get enough. YMO ROCK! Listen to this live album and you will want to go back in time to see/hear for yourself and experience the brilliance!
