Review by Arthur Gillies

Techno Bible is a highly acclaimed album by Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), a pioneering Japanese electronic music group. Released in 1992, the album features a mix of classic YMO tracks and new compositions, showcasing the band's signature blend of synth-pop, techno, and experimental sounds.

The album opens with the pulsing beats of "Computer Games," a catchy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, YMO explores a range of styles and moods, from the dreamy "Pure Jam" to the funky "Tong Poo" and the hypnotic "Behind the Mask."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rydeen," a classic YMO song that features catchy melodies and intricate rhythms, showcasing the band's virtuosity and musical prowess. Another highlight is "La Femme Chinoise," a hauntingly beautiful track that evokes a sense of mystery and nostalgia.

Japanese electropop band, formed in 1978. The principal members are Haruomi Hosono (bass), Yukihiro Takahashi (drums) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (keyboards). The band was originally conceived as a one-off studio project by Hosono, the other two members being recruited session musicians - the idea was to produce an album fusing orientalist exotica (cf their cover version of Martin Denny's Firecracker) with modern electronics. However the first album (with its cutting-edge production) was very popular, and the studio project grew into a fully fledged touring band and career for its three members. Making abundant use of new synthesizers, samplers, digital and computer recording technology as it became available, their popularity and influence extended beyond Japan. Generally the band are highly regarded as pioneers of electronic music, and continue to be remixed and sampled by modern artists. The band had stopped working together by 1984 (deliberately using a Japanese term meaning "spreading out" or "branching out" rather than saying they were "splitting up"); the three members returning to their solo careers but continuing to collaborate. They released a one-off reunion album, Technodon, in 1993. The early 2000s saw Hosono & Takahashi reunited in a project called Sketch Show. On a number of occasions Ryuichi Sakamoto has joined in on Sketch Show performances and recording sessions. He later proposed they rename the unit "Human Audio Sponge" when he participates, although outside Japan they also used "Yellow Magic Orchestra" until ownership issues with former label Alfa were resolved, so subsequent live releases use the original band name.
