Tokyo's Coolest Sound

For Yellow Magic Orchestra's 40th anniversary, their 8th album "Technodon" (released as YMO in 1993) has just got a stack of related reissues! The album itself was re-issued on SHM-CD (a superior quality of CD that plays in regular players), a limited edition SACD Hybrid (which will play in higher quality in SACD players or otherwise normally in regular players), and as a 2LP set (pressed on 180g vinyl and including a deluxe booklet). All of these were newly remastered from the original analog tape.

There's also a new Blu-ray edition of "Technodon in Tokyo Dome", a show held in June 1993, which was also remastered to HD, which comes with a SACD Hybrid of the newly mixed and mastered audio by Goh Hotoda using the original analog multitrack tapes. Plus, there's remix album "Technodon Remixes I&II" which contains both 1993 remix album "Technodon Remixes I" and "Technodon Remixes II", put together on one SHM-CD.

All of these products come in paper jackets per the members' request in care for the environment.

Check out the special page at label Universal where audio samples can be heard, and also the YMO's 40th anniversary site.
