Ryuichi Sakamoto's classic LP Ongaku Zukan, originally issued in Japan on his own School label in 1984. Filled with inspired melodies that showcase his unique gift as a composer, it offers up a fascinating mix of styles. Asiatic electro-pop pieces such as “Tibetan Dance” sit alongside futuristic ambient works like “Hane no Hayashi de”, as well as inventive fusions of jazz, funk, techno, and reggae, including “Etude” and “Tabi no Kyokuhoki”.
