An exploration of the relationship between early European classical music and traditional Asian music, this 1982 album is a fascinating collaboration between the Japanese ensemble Danceries and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Produced by Sakamoto, it includes classical interpretations of several of his works alongside various traditional European compositions from the middle ages. Sakamoto also plays keyboards and percussion on 4 of the 11 tracks. — (via AllMusic)
