Wewantsounds continues their Ryuichi Sakamoto reissue series with the release of the 1985 album Esperanto, composed for a performance by New York avant-garde choreographer Molissa Fenley.
Ryuichi Sakamoto's came after his stint with the influential Yellow Magic Orchestra and also the worldwide success of Sakamoto's 1984 soundtrack for the film Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.
Produced and performed by Sakamoto with contribution by Arto Lindsay and Japanese percussionist Yas-Kaz, Esperanto is a fascinating instrumental work mixing electronica, ambient and synth pop.
Original artwork; includes two-page insert with a new introduction by journalist Andy Beta. Audio remastered in Tokyo by Seigen Ono.
