I'm biased but All Music Guide has a good section on yrs majesty, YMO.

Did what Kraftwerk did, slightly later and almost as well?  Close enough.
They also used more varied influences than Kraftwerk, were bouncier &
poppier, and made the direct link between video-game-type music and
music-type music...

The YMO track that usually gets played is "Computer Game", which is on the
first LP from 1978, and I *think* I remember Juan playing that one.
