 YMO's best album remixed
Submitted on: 1999-12-29 |

| Technodelic was always the Sgt. Pepper of electronic music weaving melodies, samples, clunky rhythms disturbed lyrics and disembodied vocals. Shed were video game melodies, cliche beats and theme song jingles. These new versions are playful, experimental, and true to their inspiration, but inconsistant. Not a song-for-song re-creation, 2000-01 contains a few substitutions. My 2nd favorite YMO remix collection after the (Orb's) Technodon II Remix CD. The cover is a spoof of Kraftwerk's Showroom Dummies/Robots at the keyboards using Ken-like dolls for YMO. Booklet continues the gag with various hip hop rave & DJ clad Kens representing the various remixers. If only Hosono, Orb, Richard Kirk, Clock DVA or some other cross-polination scheme collaborated. See also: YMO 'Technodelic' (1981); Technodon (a.k.a.'not YMO') 'Technodon' (1993); Technodon 'Remixes II' (by the Orb); (1993) YMO Reconstructed: 'Hi-Tech / No Crime'; Haruomi Hosono 'Mental Sports Remixes' (1993) |

| I was looking for a good techno cd with Japanese lyrics, but unfortunately this album is completely in english. Aside from that, I like a lot of the beats. This cd is all over the place, mixing trance with hard rock, then shifting to dance on the very next track. I would suggest only to buy this if you have money to burn, or are extremely curious about Japanese club music. I do enjoy listening to it though, and don't feel it was a waste of money. The beats do get repetitive at times. |
