and set a precedent in the music industry like never before. By releasing this daring album, YMO shook the world with their 'Synthpop', at the time a revelation as well as a revolution. Featuring the hit "Firecracker", an infectious and exotic Martin Denny cover, which became a staple in the early Hip Hop scene in New York.

The melody of "Firecracker" comes from Martin Denny's "Firecracker", on the album Quiet Village.

This 'cigarettes & arcade-radio' cover is the very first and rare japanese pressing with the original mix of the album, that differ from the later US 'electric wire geisha' version. The original mix is true to the japanicity of the concept in a way that it does not try to tame the quirkiness and the intended annoying quality of this electronic overload of sounds. This is the version Hosono mixed and sent to the pressing plant so if you're faithful to the producer's view, it is important to hear that version first.Concerning the music: bliss from A to the Z.A milestone, no need to explain.

Offered my copy to a friend and got myself this version :D
