Arabology is the debut album by electronic duo Y.A.S. The album was released in France on 8 June 2009. The lead single, "Get It Right", was released in June 2009.
The duo began recording the album in 2007. Mirwais Ahmadzaï wanted to create an electronic music album that had an Arab identity. Moreover, he wanted to present a different representation of Arab culture to balance the view of Arabs as "terrorists" often publicized in the Western media.
"A-Man" contains an excerpt from "Man Machine" as performed by Kraftwerk.
