Product Description
Originally released on CD in 2005. Released on vinyl November 2026. The Toy Box are a group of twelve musicians and three extra percussionists playing acoustic instruments including sax, melodeon, bandoneon, mandolin, flute, picolo, guitars, cello and piano. Fans of the Yellow Magic Orchestra, they decided to do a cover of YMO's first album, totally acoustically. A bizarre idea, considering this was a classic of synthesized techno-pop, but a project that proves these were great songs in the first place. Adding his stamp of approval is Haruomi Hosono, who does the vocals on two of the tracks.
