Of course theres no book about any of this so I'm just guessing here. Didn't Takahashi and Hosono produce or otherwise appear on all the YEN records stuff, which made up a large portion of Japan's new wave scene?

Confession, I have gone since about 1998 thinking that the record is called 'X∞Multiples' but it's *not* it is 'X∞Multiplies' what the fuck? I have a tour poster and everything, I feel so stupid.

For your ignorance you must relinquish your tour poster to me!
― brimstead, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 21:12 (ten years ago)
i thought it was "multiples" too until recently

I have owned two copies of this album for about a decade and also thought it was 'X∞Multiples' until 5 minutes ago so you are not alone

Thankful, seriously!

It's like finding out that Dark Side Of The Moon is actually called Dark Slide Of The Moon or something.
Brimstead, I just had a look on Ebay because some guy was selling the same poster there for quite a while and they weren't expensive, but not at the minute unfortunately.

one joy of "multiplies" is that i can (mostly) understand the japanese sketches and they're fucking hilarious

I wonder if the cover art sort of leads the mind, in this case?
The Neu! 2 comparison is sort of spot on - it's somewhere between a full-length and an EP, and it occupies a very strange space in my record collection. There isn't quite anything else like it. I still find all the sketches hilarious in their absurdity.

speaking of the xp'd vid has anyone heard zaine griff's music? figures has pretty great cover art (by peter saville):

I subscribe to this Facebook group called YMO Stream, it is mainly Japanese dudes in their late Forties posting up loads of ephemera, tour pics, programs, tickets, pics of Tape bootlegs, it's fantastic.

whenever i hear the skits on that record i think of the skits on "the chronic."

XP - It's my favourite group, some person takes a grainy photo of say 12 of Yuki's solo seven inch singles all laid out and i'm in heaven.
― The 5 FPs (MaresNest), Friday, 14 November 2014 16:42 (ten years ago)
that reminds me, some guy at a record store got a bunch of YMO-related singles in and offered them to me, and i totally forgot to take him up on it. i wonder if they're still available...
― I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 14 November 2014 16:55 (ten years ago)
i don't mean he offered them for free, of course. just asked if i wanted them before he put them out on the floor.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 14 November 2014 16:56 (ten years ago)
ah, you should find out!
― The 5 FPs (MaresNest), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:53 (ten years ago)
I joined the FB group. It's pretty excellent. I have YT as a friend and once even tried chatting with him. He's very friendly, but his English isn't so hot. Most fun: getting game requests from Keiichi Suzuki. Only time i don't mind getting them :)

So on the YMO Facebook group mentioned upthread a Japanese gentleman posts a pic of a B2 Unit bootleg tape he's listening to, I post a comment 'Wow, would love to hear that', guy reacts in the positive, then a few days later I get a PM with a link to a FLAC file of the concert, how great is that?
― MaresNest, Saturday, 20 December 2014 14:28 (ten years ago)
