Ryuichi Sakamoto started out inspired by Kraftwerk, and by 1988 would have an Academy Award in his pocket for his soundtrack work. Somewhere in between, he found himself messing around with such cool and cutting edge western musical friends as Adrian Belew (the new guy at King Crimson), and Robin Scott (the guy who sang that Pop Muzik song). The album was called Left-Handed Dream and it’s definitely one of those lost gems.
