thanks for the reminder, just linked!
Excellent mix. On the other hand it's hard to go wrong with Sakamoto, the man has been so consistently good and relentlessly eclectic over the years (forty? fifty?) One never ceases to be amazed. I just started getting into his 1979 Kakutougi Sessions project today, "Summer Nerves", and it's still incredibly fresh, and utterly thrilling. Well, for me at least. Thanks again for this most sensational blog!
