Ryuichi Sakamoto – Esperanto (Deluxe Edition Vinyl)

$68.00
Sold Out

Sakamoto’s standout 1985 blast of rhythmic invention and hallucinatory FM synthesis is mercifully reissued by WEWANTSOUNDS, who revisit its extraordinary and obsessive electronic detail.

Abetted for this one by Arto Lindsay on electric guitar and the fleet hands of Yas-Kaz on percussion, Sakamoto was really hitting his experimental stride in 1985, in the years after crafting some of the ‘80s most enduring popular synth recordings with ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’ soundtrack and collaborations with David Sylvian. As its name suggests, ‘Esperanto’ sees Sakamoto both literally and metaphorically inspired by the “constructed international auxiliary language” that was invented in 1987.

Includes insert and obi strip.

Tracklist

A1 A Wongga Dance Song

A2 The "Dreaming"

A3 A Rain Song

A4 Dolphins

A5 A Human Tube

B1 Adelic Penguins

B2 A Carved Stone

B3 Ulu Watu

Cat no: WWSLP43
