(1983)"Service" was the sixth studio album by
Yellow Magic Orchestra , as well as their final studio album, as the band dissolved the following year; the band would later reform in1993 for a one-off reunion album, "Technodon ". Like "×∞Multiplies", it contains a mixture of YMO songs and comedy sketches performed bySuper Eccentric Theater , or S.E.T. Some European editions omit the sketches, effectively cutting the album's length in half."Service" features "You've Got to Help Yourself", which was previously featured in instrumental form on the previous album, "
Naughty Boys Instrumental ". The 2nd "S.E.T." track featured a sample ofCasiopea 's song "Time Limit". "以心電信" more accurately transliterates to "Telegraph from the heart".Track listing
