Details: Digitally remastered reissue of this album by the ground-breaking Japanese electronic trio. This was YMO's first live recorded album and their second number #1 album in Japan. Several concerts were recorded, all in 1979 (The Venue in London, Greek Theater in LA, Bottom Line in NYC, Sun Plaza in Nakano). Unfortunately due to contract issues with the record company, Kazumi Watanabe guitar playing was removed from this release and compensated with keyboards from Haruomu Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Akiko Yano. Evidently this album contains first class recordings, clear and sparkling; YMO is at it's best with an audience. Akiko Yano is a welcomed addition to YMO, with her sublime vocals she completes YMO as a band. This live recorded album has a much more relaxed approach to the music; it almost feels like they're jamming on stage and having fun with the music and clearly enjoying themselves!
