Yellow Magic Orchestra (album). Yellow Magic Orchestra is the first official studio album by Japanese electronic music band Yellow Magic Orchestra, who were previously known as the Yellow Magic Band. Originally released by Alfa Records in Japan in 1978, the album was released by A&M Records in Europe and The United States and Canada in early 1979, with the . version featuring new cover art but without the closing track of "Acrobat". Both versions would later be re-issued in 2003 as a double-disc format, with the American version as the first disc

Yellow Magic Orchestra made its 1980 debut on the legendary American dance show Soul Train performing a cover of Tighten Up by Archie Bell & the Drells, two years after the November 1978 release of the trio’s eponymous first album. Dressed in logoed button-downs with red armbands, conjuring images of Mao Zedong’s Red Guards, the three members performed a curiously fresh update of the early funk hit that featured a vocoder, synths and exaggeratedly accented lyrics spoofing Asian stereotypes in the West: We are YMO!

Talk about Yellow Magic Orchestra - Tighten Up

Just wanna let all you cats out there know that Rydeen played at 33 is an instant elctro funk anthem! Sounds like Daft Punk took a trip to Japan. I will never again play this song at 45... Now ya know!

Funny thing is when I first got the record, I thought 33rpm was the correct speed for Rydeen. Took a while for me to get used to it playing at the proper speed. This was way back at the beginning of time...
