Also, the last track on the second disc is titled 'Forbidden Colours' but it's not the Sylvian vocal version. I had a vague memory that the second disc is different versions of the soundtrack that's on the first disc, but it's really a continuation of the soundtrack. I should also correct what I wrote earlier. Just raw artistic vision.Д¬lick to expand.Thanks. Not a film commission, or a collaboration. I get a true sense of artistry from it, it's pure Sakamoto. There's a sense of fragility in there, that he's making these recordings for himself - if he has one album left in him, may as well approach it with no compromise. All the while, Sakamoto composed this collection of tracks in the shadow of his own mortality. All of these different aspects coupled with Sakamoto's own keen ear and skill for extracting musicality out from soundscapes in the world around him and incorporating them into concise compositions. You've got elements of 80s nostalgia, thematic compositions, classical influences, avant-garde noise. I particularly feel like this album is a culmination of many, if not all, of the different styles, sounds, and themes that Sakamoto has engaged with over the course of his long career.
