Yellow Magic Orchestra / イエロー・マジック・オーケストラ / Yellow Magic Orchestra

CD release of ALR-6012. Based on the the original Japanese version rather than the remixed US version. In this version, which is based on the sound source of the 1999 remaster, "PDLS" technology was used to get the sound quality closer to that of the master tape.

First pressing came in a digipack. On March 21, 2007 this edition was made available again for a limited time.

Notes from Parent Album:
Only track 1 and 5 are remixes of music/sound effects from the arcade games Circus and Space Invaders respectively. The music and sound effects used from the games were not recorded from the arcade cabinets, but recreated on a synthesizer. The group did try to record music from the Circus game for track 1, but as they couldn't get a good transition to the next track, the idea was scrapped.
