Yellow Magic Orchestra

The next upload from the wonderful 1979 show at "Hurrah" in New York by Yellow Magic Orchestra, who were joined by Akiko Yano on their world tour. This song is - Technopolis - and is mainly instrumental. Sadly two of the three members died in 2023 - Drummer and Vocalist, Yukihiro Takahashi, aged 70, from complications of pneumonia, and Keyboards and Vocalist, Ryuichi Sakamoto, aged 71, from cancer. Sadly missed for their inspirational musical legacy. Resolution increased to HD Playlist for the band is here: https://rumble.com/playlists/WH_Ao_vukaA

From their first album, simply titled "Yellow Magic Orchestra", released in late 1978 in Japan, but in 1979 in Europe - this is the fabulous "Cosmic Surfin". A great electronica sound which I totally love. Playlist for the band is here: https://rumble.com/playlists/WH_Ao_vukaA
