APOGEE & PERIGEE "Chojiku Korodasutan Ryokoki" LP 1984 Yen Records YLR-28018 Japan Obi, Insert

In 1984 a pair of Japanese robots named Apogee & Perigee released an album of songs that tell their story. Entitled Chojiku Korodasutan Ryokoki it was released in fairly small quantities as an LP on Yen Records, the label of YMO's Hosono and Takahashi, and soon became a sought after though obscure rarity.
Though I don’t think it’s a big surprise, in reality really it wasn’t a pair of robots making the album, it was semi-anonymously made by the short lived band Testpattern (Masao Himura and Fumio Ichimura), who were signed to Yellow Magic Orchestra’s ¥EN Records label. For this, their second project, they made a concept album billed to a pair of robots. On it they recruited many labelmates to contribute songs and perform more or less uncredited. - Nick Kent from the fabulous Fanboy website.
