He's tremendously versatile, isn't he ? I grabbed two of his A Day in New York (sort of bosa nova ish) and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (It's not Christmas music..we haven't even had sumer yet ! rain again in Dartmouth...day 29 out of 35....sunny tomorrow maybe).
Two very distinctive albums. Is Ryuichi Sakamoto considered popular or fairly obscure ? How did you discover him ?

Hi Steve
I was working on an engineering project and we had some Japanese software engineers on the site. An interpreter by the name of Chigusa used to do all the translation for us. One day we got around to discussing music and she mentioned Ryuichi Sakomoto and I thought I would give it a try. Checked him out on the web and bought a couple of CD's. Will dig out the titles one day. I have a mountain of CD's and no catalogue/filing system in place so I can never find what I want to listen to.
