Description
The 1980 'Zōshoku' — half music (Nice Age, Citizens of Science), half Snakeman Show comedy sketches, originally issued as a 10-inch record. Pop stardom processed as self-multiplication, per the cover's army of cloned YMOs. Sequenced on the Roland MC-8 MicroComposer by Hideki Matsutake — YMO's 'fourth member' — who entered the music as numeric data, keypad line by keypad line.
