Ryuichi Sakamoto

This is another Sakamoto's mixes of electronica, world music, pop and the avant-garde, but this time an underlying "Asia Meets Latin America" motif holds things together both thematically and sonically. "Bibo No Aozora" is one of his best tunes (and he later turned it into a classical chamber piece), while the deceptively simple "A Day In the Park" is addictive.
