YMO is known as a pioneer of electronic music with the synthesizer. This album art was designed by graphic designer Yukimasa Okumura (奥村靫正). Okumura is famous for SF and retro-futuristic artwork. He designed many album artworks, posters, and stage dresses. Okumura started his career with the design group “Work Shop Mu!!”. Since Okumura began using computers at the dawn of computer technology, his unique design features a mixture of CG and hand-drawn designs.
