When this compilation came out in 1999, it was probably most notable for being the exclusive home of both of those acoustic tracks. It’s not crazy different than the original, but it has enough deviations to make it worth a listen. I think before that it was only on some promo 12″ singles.

The Special DJ Copy of “Tong Poo”was first made widely available as a part of the 1992 Techno Bible 5CD box set (which I own). In addition to all the bangers you’d want, it also has a few harder to find tracks, which are the ones I’m sharing here. It’s a two disc set, and while it’s not as good as what I consider to be their definitive greatest his set, UCYMO, it’s still damn good. Goddammit.Īnyways, the compilation in question is YMO Go Home!, which the group released in 1999. It’s sitting there, egging me on to see if I can get to an nice big round and even 100.

That brings the total number of YMO albums in my collection to a completely unsatisfying 87. However, if a student cancels their lesson, and that lesson is right before my scheduled lunch break, then I have more than enough time to make the walk and spend too much money on CDs I don’t need!įor example, I bought yet another Yellow Magic Orchestra greatest hits compilation. Thankfully the really good record store is some distance away, just far enough that I can’t make it there during my usual lunch break. My new job is in an area with some record stores.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone? (Acoustic Version) I got some really cool and rare video game music recently, but I know that most people who read my blog don’t come here for that and would be bummed if my first post in nearly half a year was dedicated to Double Dragon remixes, so I’ll save those for next time. On the off chance that I do decide to shutter it for good, I’ll definitely put out an update, but again, that’s not likely. And since more people seem to be visiting my YouTube channel and listening to my podcast than frequenting this blog, those have taken precedence, sorry.Īs I’ve said before though, this blog isn’t going anywhere. I am working more hours though, which means it’s harder to dedicate free time to creative endeavors. Since my last post, I got a new job! I’m still teaching English in Japan, but now I’m working for a company that doesn’t seem to actively hate me, so that’s nice.

Why the even longer break than usual? Well, the typical “I can’t find anything to share” excuse aside, this year has proven to be incredibly busy for me.
