At the risk of bumping a hideously old thread, I would also like to know where I can find these incredible albums.

For anyone who doesn't know, Oriental Magnetic Yellow (OMY) is a group led by video game composer veteran Shinji Hosoe, which parodies/tributes the influential early synthpop group Yellow Magic Orchestra/YMO.

I've searched somewhat extensively around both Japanese and English sides of the 'net and I can't seem to find any trace of the albums in any downloadable state. Only one of their albums is available on Amazon as a physical CD from a private retailer, and OMY has about 8 albums in total (Oriental Magnetic Yellow - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/artist/2121)).

Before you ask, I also searched for their CD catalogue numbers on the Japanese side of the internet, but that only got me so far before I hit another dead end.

The only trace of their music that I could find readily available was a paltry selection on Youtube:

(There are more, but I don't feel like posting them all here, for the sake of brevity.)

So, I know that these albums have to be out there somewhere. Does anyone have any information about this awesome pastiche of YMO? I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't have money for these but a few of these albums seem to be purchasable from last.fm. I hope this helps!
