Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia (originally released in 1984 in Japan, as Ongakuzukan) opens with вЂњField Work,вЂќ a low-key dance-rock joint venture with Thomas Dolby that was also released as a single itвЂ™s immediately likable but unrelated to the feel of the rest of the record. Piano One consists of solo acoustic piano pieces by four artists, including Sakamoto and Eddie Jobson.

His staccato blend of pure electronic sounds and samples of voices and instruments, often electronically altered, is mildly impressive but not engaging.ДЄdventures of Chatran and Koneko Monogatari are also movie scores, the latter for one of JapanвЂ™s biggest-ever box-office flicks Honneamise is his score for an animated sci-fi film. Lovely, warm, spacious and extremely tough to obtain: a limited-edition CD release in a gorgeous decorated box, with a bonus CD-3 featuring a trio of non-movie tracks.Д®speranto is an abridged version of SakamotoвЂ™s end of a dance performance collaboration with New York choreographer Melissa Fenley. Lawrence, capped by the restatement of the Last Emperor theme. Lawrence, while Playing the Orchestra is a live symphonic rendering of music from The Last Emperor, followed by an equally in-depth investigation of about a third of Mr.

Coda reprises the first seven tracks of Mr. (The score won an Oscar.) The discвЂ™s only memorable music is SakamotoвЂ™s main theme (with its surprisingly European feel), which he explores through much of his side.Д«oth filmsвЂ™ music appeared later in other forms. He more recently acted in The Last Emperor (1987), also contributing half of the suitably atmospheric soundtrack album. Lawrence is the soundtrack to a film starring Tom Conti, David Bowie and Sakamoto, who performed the entire evocative synth score alone (save a vocal of dubious worth by David Sylvian in an alternative version of the main theme).

(In 1990, The Arrangement reissued the tracks featuring Scott - about half the album - plus several more, evidently outtakes of the original session.) The LP varies from slippery, fractured funk to a duel between a grim, darkly atmospheric drone and assorted percussion it consistently scintillates, though sometimes in a curiously offhand way. On 1981вЂ™s Left Handed Dream, Sakamoto effectively draws out and integrates his collaborators (Robin вЂњMвЂќ Scott and Adrian Belew, as well as both YMO cohorts), who in turn get the best out of him. Though not throwing up as many sparks with them as might have been expected - what might he do with Bovell now? - it clearly shows him to be an adventuresome oddball rather than a trendy studio hack. While with YMO, he made B-2 Unit with the help of British reggae musician/producer Dennis Bovell and XTCвЂ™s Andy Partridge. Only surreal environment-conjuring on one track and musical cross-pollination on another hint at the avant-garde and world music aspects of SakamotoвЂ™s later work. Presaging his work with Yellow Magic Orchestra (which he formed later that year), the record consists of electronic disco, commendably quirky for the time it was recorded but now largely dated, with some unnecessary guitar soloing - the chief guest performance on the disc, since almost everything else was played by Sakamoto. He continued after getting an MFA and, in 1978, released his first solo album, Thousand Knives. Keyboardist Sakamoto did his first session work during his post-graduate studies of electronic and ethnic music at the University of Art of Tokyo in the mid-вЂ™70s.
