Listen: Japanese synth legends YMO, done in DS-10

Following up on our previous Korg DS-10 related posts, here's a pair of DS covers of legendary Japanese synth-band YMO.

NATT021's dual-DS powered cover of "Rydeen", embedded above (original version), and PECG300's Korg DS-10 cover of "Technopolis" below (orginal version.)

Knowing of YMO's mid-70s electronic and computer game influences and their subsequent influences on videogame music composers like Hitoshi Sakimoto, there's something genuinely fitting about seeing their classic tunes played on a Nintendo DS.
