I reserved and purchased this LP when it was released. Also gave me a poster. It's a family heirloom.
Originally I was an instrumentalist, but under the influence of YMO, I began to listen to vocals as well. However, 'LIGHT IN DARKNESS' is my best YMO tune. Also, listening to how wonderful the content of 'GRADATED GREY', and glimpsing the feelings of Mr. Haruomi Hosono, who wrote the lyrics and music, it is easy to imagine that there were times when he fell into intense conflicts and dilemmas in quiet times. -
Technodelic from ymo is the Japanese comparison to what is kraftwerk's die mensch machine album from .. for its raw analogic electronic sound performance added to melodic voices..
Resulting to musical output of a 5 stars Asian genuine and unique electronic experimental sound from the end of 70's beginning of the 80's Era..
Pure bliss. -
Whenever YMO are referenced it’s seems to usually be the debut or Solid State Reviver & as good as they are, this and BGM are really the groups pinnacle. Lovely sound on the vinyl reissue. Cold & bouncy, just how you want it.

Perhaps this album is the world's first authentic sampling album?
At that time the sampling equipment was expensive so they used their own specially designed sampling equipment called LMD - 649
The feature of this album is that sampling is mainly used for rhythm parts
The drum kit that was used until then was replaced with sampling -
Still the greatest Electronic-Album ever created. Together with his twin "BGM" . YMO on the peak of their creativity.
Bought this album in 1982 (I was 13), heard it maybe 1200 times, it never became outdated. Not a second.
A milestone in the line of Kraftwerk's "Computerwelt", CLOCK DVA's "Man amplified" or Jarre's "Oxygene".
