Yes, YMO is sure the asian answer to kraftwerk.All 3, harry, Yuki and Riuichi were highly talented. The musical landscape today would be alot different if they did`nt exist.

I love YMO and Kraftwerk, and also J-M Jarre. They made the machines sound almost human.

This group is true pioneers. They started out with synths the old school way, (midi and hard wire) unlike the plug and play we do now. I salute them :)
