A massive movie, but even that review was written eight years after its original release, when the Japanese flick finally made it to US cinemas. Here we are then, almost 35 years on, and the score is available to own on its own, conceived and created by the Ryuichi Sakamoto - composer, curator, producer and owner of a hive mind's worth of musical knowledge. Introductions aside, the soundtrack makes perfect sense with or without watching anything, luring us in onto another cosmic plane through epic synth adventures, playful piano polkas and operatic overtures, resulting in what you could describe as a meeting of classical and RPG chip music.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alternative Fox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35072366674076,"sku":"FOX042","price":19.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/CS781340-01A-BIG_c423792f-50f6-466c-addc-d6ced35bbec6.jpg?v=1594932247"},{"product_id":"ryuichi-sakamoto-great-tracks","title":"Ryuichi Sakamoto - Great Tracks","description":"Genre: Electronic\/Experimental\u003cbr\u003eFormat: EP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: MHJL00139\u003cbr\u003eB\/C 456042S7452494\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 2nd October 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJapanese pressing \u003cbr\u003e45rpm 12\" cut by Bernie Grundman .

This is followed by huge soul smashes from Hot Chocolate, Kool \u0026amp; The Gang, Shalamar, and the jazz-funk of Shakatak. The second half of the disc revisits some of the aforementioned synth-pop from Talk Talk, A Flock Of Seagulls, Visage, Roxy Music and the first single, ‘Being Boiled’, from The Human League, re-released in early 1982 after the success of the previous year’s ‘Dare’ and its 4 singles.\u003cbr\u003eDisc 3 brings together some of the biggest names in 1982 new wave with enduring classic singles: The Clash, U2, Echo And The Bunnymen and XTC kick it off, with The Associates, Siouxsie And The Banshees, and The Psychedelic Furs to follow. Charged pop hits from Toyah, Bow Wow Wow, Altered Images, and The Go-Go’s with their era-defining ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’ lead us to power-pop from Pat Benatar, Frida with her solo single ‘I Know There’s Something Going On’, the timeless ‘Jack \u0026amp; Diane’ from John Mellencamp, and concluding with Electric Light Orchestra’s ‘Ticket To The Moon’.\u003cbr\u003eAn essential collection for all lovers of 80s pop - and a perfect addition to the ‘Yearbook’ family. ‘NOW – Yearbook Extra 1982’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack list\u003cbr\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003e1.

The film follows the story of American tourist Beckett (John David Washington) who is on vacation in Greece. After a devastating car accident with his girlfriend April, he becomes the target of a manhunt. Forced to run for his life, he finds himself falling deeper into a dangerous web of conspiracy. Beckett also stars Boyd Holbrook, Vicky Krieps and Alicia Vikander.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe score is composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto - composer, electro-pop pioneer, and synthesizer legend. His work since the late Seventies has earned him an Oscar, a BAFTA, a Grammy and 2 Golden Globe Awards. Sakamoto's music has consistently exuded a profound empathy. Whether leading Yellow Magic Orchestra's cheeky pop, collaborating with cranial ambient artists, or, more recently, confronting his own mortality, Sakamoto's music expresses in a few elegant gestures the haunting richness of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a limited edition contains of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured vinyl.

Sakamoto was already a celebrated pioneer in electronic music and composer\/pianist\/singer in Japan when director Nagisa Oshima asked him to write the score for Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence in 1983 and also to star alongside David Bowie.

Now he’s put years of digging in Japanese record shops to good use on Polyphonic Cosmos, the latest release on his compilation-focused Cease \u0026amp; Desist imprint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubtitled ‘A Beginners Guide to Japan In The ‘80s’, the collection offers a personal selection of Japanese gems recorded and released between 1981 and ’86 – a period when advances in recording and musical technology offered the nation’s artists and producers a whole new tool kit to employ. When combined with the unique musical culture of Japan, where local traditions are frequently fused with Western styles to create timeless, off-kilter aural fusions, this embrace of locally pioneered music technology had spectacular, often unusual results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight years in the making, Polyphonic Cosmos provides an endlessly entertaining musical snapshot of Japanese music of the early-to-mid ‘80s with all of the open-minded eclecticism and sonic twists that you would expect from the Glasgow-based DJ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompare and contrast, for example, the gently breezy, morning-fresh folk-plus-electronics bliss of ‘ばら二曲 Baranikyoku (Fellini\u0026amp;Rota)’ by World Standard – the most familiar alias of long-serving musician\/producer Sohichiro Suzuki – and the hallucinatory, slow-motion tribal rhythms, post-punk rhythms and tape delay-laden electronics of Imitation’s ‘Exotic Dance’. Or, for that matter, the tipsy mid-‘80s electronic reggae of Pecker’s ‘Sha La La’, the grungy but melodic post-punk strut of ‘You Go On Natural’ by Earthling (a track Twitch accurately describes as “sheer unrelenting groove”), and the unearthly, swirling sonics, new age instrumentation and flotation tank vocals of prolific (and seemingly mysterious) act Geinoh Yamashirogumi’s ‘Rimme Kohkyogaku Meiki’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a credit to JD Twitch’s curatorial skills that the quality never dips, and sonic surprises lurk around every corner. Consider for a moment the hard to describe, far-sighted audio immersion of D-Day’s ‘Ki-Ra’ – all languid post-pop guitar, enveloping chords, spoken word vocals, shuffling 808 beats and marimba melodies – and the two contributions from video games soundtrack specialist (and driving instrumental synth-pop specialist) Hiroyuki Namba.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe collection naturally includes some selections that have long been favourites in Twitch’s DJ sets – see Masumi Hara’s ‘Your Dream’ – as well as a handful of tracks from artists who may be more recognisable to those with only rudimentary knowledge of Japanese musical culture. The great Yasuaki Shimizu, whose work as Mariah has become far better known in recent years thanks to reissues of some of his most magical albums, is represented via ‘The Crow’, a picturesque chunk of horizontal, hard-to-define jazz-not-jazz smokiness, while the collection fittingly concludes with a sublimely funky, oddball electronic workout from Yellow Magic Orchestra legend Ryuichi Sakamoto (the frankly incredible ‘Wongga Dance Song’).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatt Anniss\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cease and Desist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42363955904668,"sku":"C\u0026D002","price":29.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/Polyphonic-Cosmos-Pacshot-with-sticker_30089306-fcd2-4e8b-a53a-6c0b99751158.jpg?v=1677160542"},{"product_id":"ryuichi-sakamoto-travesia-2lp","title":"Ryuichi Sakamoto - Travesía (2LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: 19658767091\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 196587670917\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 05 May 2023\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soundtrack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilan Records are excited to announce the release of TRAVESÍA, an album of music by prolific composer, producer, and artist RYUICHI SAKAMOTO curated by five-time Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu.

What’s more, the records being made were reflecting back and influencing Bowie’s own work – 1979’s “Lodger” and 1980’s “Scary Monsters” owed a debt to strands of German kosmische (Holger Czukay), new electronica (Patrick Cowley, Harald Grosskopf), and the latest works from old friends and rivals like Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel and Scott Walker, all of whom had been re-energised by the fizz of 1977. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Compiled by Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley and the BFI’s Jason Wood, “Fantastic Voyage” is the companion album to their hugely successful “Café Exil” collection, which imagined the soundtrack to David Bowie and Iggy Pop’s trans-European train journeys in the mid-to-late seventies. “Fantastic Voyage” is what happened next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Bowie’s influences and Bowie’s own influence were rebounding off each other as the 70s ended and the 80s began, notably in the emergent synthpop and new romantic scenes as well as through the music of enigmatic acts like the Associates and post-punk pioneers such as Cabaret Voltaire. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Like “Low” and “Heroes”, some of the tracks on “Fantastic Voyage” are spiked with tension (Grauzone’s ‘Eisbär’) while some share those albums’ sense of travel (Simple Minds’ ‘Theme for Great Cities’, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ‘Riot in Lagos’) and others find common ground with “Lodger’s” dark, subtle humour (Thomas Leer’s ‘Tight as a Drum’, Fripp’s ‘Exposure’). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• This is the thrilling, adventurous sound of European music before the watershed moment when Bowie would abandon art-pop for America and the emerging world of MTV with “Let’s Dance” in 1983. “Fantastic Voyage” soundtracks the few brief years when the echo chamber of Bowie, his inspirations, and his followers created an exciting, borderless music that was ready to challenge Anglo American influences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etrack listing\u003cbr\u003e1.

What’s more, the records being made were reflecting back and influencing Bowie’s own work – 1979’s “Lodger” and 1980’s “Scary Monsters” owed a debt to strands of German kosmische (Holger Czukay), new electronica (Patrick Cowley, Harald Grosskopf), and the latest works from old friends and rivals like Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel and Scott Walker, all of whom had been re-energised by the fizz of 1977. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Compiled by Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley and the BFI’s Jason Wood, “Fantastic Voyage” is the companion album to their hugely successful “Café Exil” collection, which imagined the soundtrack to David Bowie and Iggy Pop’s trans-European train journeys in the mid-to-late seventies. “Fantastic Voyage” is what happened next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Bowie’s influences and Bowie’s own influence were rebounding off each other as the 70s ended and the 80s began, notably in the emergent synthpop and new romantic scenes as well as through the music of enigmatic acts like the Associates and post-punk pioneers such as Cabaret Voltaire. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Like “Low” and “Heroes”, some of the tracks on “Fantastic Voyage” are spiked with tension (Grauzone’s ‘Eisbär’) while some share those albums’ sense of travel (Simple Minds’ ‘Theme for Great Cities’, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ‘Riot in Lagos’) and others find common ground with “Lodger’s” dark, subtle humour (Thomas Leer’s ‘Tight as a Drum’, Fripp’s ‘Exposure’). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• This is the thrilling, adventurous sound of European music before the watershed moment when Bowie would abandon art-pop for America and the emerging world of MTV with “Let’s Dance” in 1983. “Fantastic Voyage” soundtracks the few brief years when the echo chamber of Bowie, his inspirations, and his followers created an exciting, borderless music that was ready to challenge Anglo American influences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etrack listing\u003cbr\u003eSIDE ONE\u003cbr\u003e1.

The label continued to release high-quality works not just by YMO and related artists but also unique artists such as Hajime Tachibana and Jun Togawa, and cutting-edge bands such as Testpattern and Interior.
