Ryuichi Sakamoto - Mototronic
Review by Courtney Pearson
Mototronic, the latest album by Ryuichi Sakamoto, is an impressive collection of electronic pieces that showcase the Japanese composer's versatility and creativity. The album features 10 tracks, each with its own unique flavor and style, ranging from ambient soundscapes to upbeat dance tunes.
From the opening track "ZURE", with its hypnotic rhythms and glitchy beats, to the dreamy "Andata" and the melancholic "Solari", Sakamoto takes the listener on a sonic journey through different moods and emotions. The album also features collaborations with other artists, such as the haunting vocals of Iranian singer Makan Ashgvari on "FFS" and the atmospheric guitar work of Christian Fennesz on "Garden".
Throughout the album, Sakamoto's mastery of electronic sound design is evident, as he blends organic and synthetic elements to create a rich and immersive sonic landscape. The production is top-notch, with each sound and effect carefully crafted and placed within the mix.

similarities, yes? really digging this mix though.
Maybe Tobin was actually inspired by this remix while making of Chaos Theory OST, as the former came out earlier than the infamous soundtrack.
Even though, inspired or not, our favorite Brazilian musician made the score his own, IDMic way :D
