Basically, YMO is the godfather of Japanese video game music, inspiring many, if not most, Japanese game musicians.
Track 5 of the album, Behind the Mask, was years later covered and given lyrics by Michael Jackson.

Going a bit fast through the songs; I'll listen more carefully after I wake up.
I like The Reunion; it's like 90s PC or Mega Drive sci-fi game background music. Heck, it may have been.
The first notes of Gods of Wrath remind me of Kurenai by X Japan.
