Pioneers of the Japanese acid-jazz sound, the United Future Organization comprised Tokyo club DJs Tadashi Yabe, Toshio Matsuura and French expatriate Raphael Sebbag. Joining forces in 1990, the trio quickly emerged as a leading force on the Tokyo underground club scene, making their recorded debut the next year with the 12-inch "I Love My Baby (My Baby Loves Jazz); " "Loud Minority/Moon Dance" followed in mid-1992, becoming a cult favorite on club circuits ranging from London to Hamburg to New York City. UFO's debut LP Jazzin' 91-93 appeared that September, the same month the trio made their triumphant British debut at London's Fridge club; an American record deal was not forthcoming until 1994, however, with a self-titled collection appearing on Verve Forecast. No Sound Is Too Taboo followed in 1995, with United Future Organization resurfacing in 1997 with 3rd Perspective. In 2000 the trio returned with the album, Bon Voyage on Instinct.

One of the three original founding members, Toshio Matsuura, left the group in 2002 to work with Universal Japan on a remix album project.

Drawing from the sounds of a high-on-dope chilled out jazz bar, laid back modern poetic rap, "Yello" style electronic music and the frenetic frenzy of a latin-american style percussion, UFO manage to create an engaging musical journey that you will want to take again and again. This is music to be seriously cool to.

For one of the most consistently inventive groups in mix culture, United Future Organization's debut falls way too close to the aural wallpaper zone. The influences -- cool jazz, light funk, and Brazilian percussion -- stand out as separate entities rather than meld together, and the rhythms are usually surprisingly static for a group predicated on making dancefloor denizens move. "The Sixth Sense" and "L.O.V.E" are dragged down by dull drumming before the Brazilian "Upa Neguinho" injects a bit of rhythm life. The songs centered around samples of beat icon Jack Kerouac and vocal jazzhero Jon Hendricks fare well, but elsewhere the repetition too often is just boring rather than pulling you into a groove. Only the Parisian cabaret accordion and Monday Michiru's vocals on "My Foolish Dream" and the breakout finale, "Off Road," really register strongly. United Future Organization is still obviously fitting the pieces of their sonic puzzle together and it shows in the timid, tentative mix as much as the music. From the evidence here, you wouldn't have expected the group to be capable of the quantam leap to No Sound Is Too Taboo -- but United Future Organization did just that.

Featured on 1994's Red Hot and Cool compilation, the Japanese production trio UFO heads a loose collective of musicians and vocalists present here. Jazz, R&B, trip-hop, Spanish, Caribbean, and Brazilian rhythms all appear in one form or another; surprisingly, these disparate elements flow well through the course of ten songs.
