Customer Reviews
Entertaining Possibilities From D.J. Dragon...
... listen up, headphones are required for this journey! This new release from Ryuichi Sakamoto delivers sampled delights of worldwide textures. From the earthy sampled cello riffs of Jacques Morelenbaum found along side the urgent phrasing by M.C. Sniper to the beauty of Ngo-bitmix with it's light brazilian jazz piano and vocals peppered with skips and pops of vinyl fire to heartfelt questions of War and Peace. Chasm stimulates the listener in creating a different kind of pop music adventure. The challenge lies in understanding a moment of relaxed chaos, where instruments become a pronounced difference of opinion and vocals are lead to a sudden interruption of continuity. What I found mostly intriguing in this kind of musical dialog was that with each listening a new and exciting possibility was to be heard. I personally think Mr. Sakamoto will always wonder and explore where his compositions will take him and the joy in where they will take his audience too as well.
A masterful musical menu created by a master chef!
If you've been following Ryuichi Sakamoto's career for any length of time, what has been the most amazing talent he's shown is his high degree of eclecticism. Twenty years ago he postulated his concept of "neo geo" music - styles and ideas without boundaries - and has subsequently produced a body of work that has been sumptuous in its diversity. "Chasm" is a singular feast (I might have said buffet, but each track is so complete in its flavor textures) for the ears, wherein he touches all his bases: pop, jazz, electronica, Brazilian, rap, cinematic, experimental, etc. All guided by his extraordinary keyboard virtuoisty. This is an absolutely brilliant album!!!
Absolutely revelatory.
An amazing album/journey/experience. Pure tonal bliss--not only does Mr. Sakamoto stun with his melodies and arrangements, he plunders and appropriates virtually every sound and technique from modern instrumental music to further his discourse, and achieves a stunning level of emotion within what many would consider a 'cold' genre. Most impressive, however, is Mr. Sakamoto's very clearly limned imprimatur on this music--a generally faceless milieu is rendered rich and full of the artist's persona. Outstanding.
