Tracks list

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 US 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.

The album was an early example of synth-pop, a genre that the band helped
pioneer. It contributed to the development of electro, hip hop, techno, and
bleep techno. The album’s innovations in electronic music included its
use of the microprocessor-based Roland MC-8 Microcomposer music sequencer which
allowed the creation of new electronic sounds, and its sampling of video game
sounds.

The album sold 250,000 copies in Japan and entered the Billboard 200 and R&B
Albums charts in the United States. Its most successful single was
“Computer Game / Firecracker”, which sold over 400,000 records in
the United States and was a top 20 hit in the United Kingdom.
