Jäje Johansson (born 11 October 1969), better known by his stage name Jay-Jay Johanson, is a Swedish singer-songwriter, known for his melancholic vocals.

Yellow Magic Orchestra is the first official studio album by Japanese electronic music band Yellow Magic Orchestra, who were previously known as the Yellow Magic Band. Originally released by Alfa Records in Japan in 1978, the album was released by A&M Records in Europe and the United States and Canada in early 1979, with the US version featuring new cover art but without the closing track of "Acrobat". Both versions would later be re-issued in 2003 as a double-disc format, with the American version as the first disc.

this album will be released next year by Hydeout Productions, the japanese indie label (hydeout.net). Emancipator - Guitars / Keyboards / Samples / Production Cindy Kao - Violin / Additional Vocals Thao Nguyen - Vocals on "Soon It Will Be Cold Enough to Build Fires," "When I Go," and "Good Knight." "Some albums just feel so good, so cool, you can誸 help but feel good while listening to them. Emancipator誷 Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is such an album. Incorporating hints of jazz, electronica, trip-hop and down-tempo into its violins, keys, various samples and the occasional female voice, this 19-year-old college student has put together a release worthier of the attentions of a record label. Taking a liking to music at an early age, the quality and professionalism of the production is in stark contrast to the fact this artist can誸 even legally buy booze yet. 褽ve?sweeps in with some modified harmony vocals then shows off both Emancipator誷 piano skills as well as the beautiful violins of Cindy Kao, whose work is peppered throughout the 65-minute epic. 襍oon It Will Be Cold Enough To Build Fires?plays around with some lovely acoustic guitars, a sampled horn and some left over vocal cuts from another track. The rhythm of programmed drums and wash of beautiful violin on 褹nthem?reminds me a little of Moby and DJ Shadow, the tribal beat opening and subsequent electronic bass on 褿ood Knight?feels like some of Bobby Cochran誷 (Hands Upon Black Earth) best work, the driving bass and Kao誷 violin on 襆ionheart?feel like the soundtrack to dusk, while the voice of Thao Nguyen on 襑hen I Go?sings 襬ff key,?as she puts it, but really her style is addictive, sexy and the sound of her lovely speaking voice when she says, 襓ou are nourishing. That誷 what he said?gives me a chill. The amount of work that went into this album is amazing. As Emancipator himself states, ?蒳nstrumentation on the album was either played and recorded by myself, or was programmed from scratch using individual 詏neshots,?which are basically just recordings of single notes being played. Many of the melodies or bass lines were constructed in this way ?by pitch shifting and moving around individual sounds like sound legos.? The fact that this is funded not by a record label, but by a college student who does this in his spare time, is admirable. Pop onto his site you can even download some remixes (including his mash up remix pairing Sigur Ros with Mobb Deep. Hearing Mobb Deep rap 襂誱 only 19 but my mind is old?has so much added weight when melded like this). And, to boot, the music is damn cool. Highly recommended." - reviewed by John Dunphy
