just the other day i picked up soundbytes by r. sakamoto. the 14 tracks
are taken from albums that he did in 1981,85,86 and 1 song from '93. the
stuff isreally brilliant techno. it ranges from amazing ambient tracks
to some pretty hard ones.
does anyone know of any ryuichi sakamoto, haruomi hosono, yukihiro
takahashi or yellow magic orchestra that is a must have?
i saw rs's new
album at the store at the same time... it was produced by goh hotoda, but
that's all i remember from the sleeve other than the amazingly colorful
picture.
in these tracks you can really see the beginnings of the ambient music
that is being released today.
