Cultural Facts:
-
Recorded in Tokyo by Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, this debut album helped define Japan’s electronic music revolution.
-
It pioneered the use of the Roland MC-8 Microcomposer, making YMO one of the first fully sequenced electronic pop groups.
-
The album’s playful blend of computer sounds, arcade-game samples, and funk rhythms influenced early techno, hip-hop, and new wave artists worldwide.
-
Its success led to YMO being dubbed the “Japanese Kraftwerk,” though their fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics was entirely their own.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
