A live performance at its finest, where enthusiasm and precision intertwine.
This live album, capturing the final performance of their world tour, is a striking fusion of electronic sounds and human performance. YMO's mature musicality and sense of tension symbolically reflect the technology of the time.
Even as they absorbed the enthusiasm of the audience, Yellow Magic Orchestra's performance was calm and precise. Machine rhythms and live performances compete with each other, and the meticulous composition produces a high level of perfection. Each song is reconstructed with a vivid sound image, and the sound is extremely clear. Despite being a live album, it maintains the precision of a studio work. This is a record that can be said to be the fruition of performance technique and sound design.
