Ryuichi Sakamoto :: Coda (1983)

Reissue label Wewantsounds just announced a remastered, worldwide release of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Coda, also known as the solo piano version of the 1983 soundtrack to Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence plus two bonus tracks based on atmospheric synth pad lines. Acoustically reinterpreted, the multi-award winning and seemingly-grand compositions from the soundtrack are undressed, showcasing Sakamoto’s fundamental skills as an instrumentalist and arranger.
