×∞ Multiplies (増殖 Zōshoku?, lit. "multiplication"; "times infinity multiplies", although this phrase does not appear to make sense; it is sometimes mistyped as "Xoo Multiplies") was a mini-album by the Yellow Magic Orchestra released in 1980.
It contains a mixture of songs and instrumentals by YMO (including humorous reworking of Archie Bell & the Drells' "Tighten Up"), interspersed with comedy sketches. These sketches are performed by the 'Snakeman Show' in Japanese and English, with YMO participating in some of them.
Confusingly, a compilation album of the same title but with completely different tracks was also released in the U.S. (and Australia) and a subsequent single. A still further totally different version was released in the UK.
