Trivia / Technodon

• Channel Hop: The band briefly moved to Eastworld Records in Japan and EMI in Europe for this album and its supporting releases.
• No Export for You: Technodon holds the dubious distinction of being YMO's only studio album to never see an American release at all, having only been put out in Japan and Europe despite the group's prior back-catalog having just seen their first (and only) US CD releases the previous year. Reissues (on the rare occasions when they actually happen, having only occurred in 1999, 2011, and 2020 compared to the far more frequent re-releases of the Alfa-era albums) take things a step further, with none of them making it outside of Japan aside from the digital version put out on streaming services. Consequently, attempting to find even a secondhand copy of Technodon is best reserved for those with deep pockets and plenty of time to wait for an international shipment.
• Sequel Gap: Technodon released roughly a decade after Service, owing to YMO dissolving and reforming within that period.
• Similarly Named Works: An example contained to the same act: Technodelic and Technodon, despite having very similar names and being put out by the same band, are starkly different in sound and style.
