HOT ! Ryuichi Sakamoto: Hidari Ude No Yume - Deluxe Edition Vinyl 2LP｜ Other Products

"Double LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Includes the album's full instrumental version. Wewantsounds present the reissue of Ryuichi Sakamoto's third solo album Hidari Ude No Yume (Left Handed Dream), originally released in 1981 on the Alfa label. Save for a small-scale Dutch vinyl release in 1981, it is the first time the album's original Japanese edition is released outside of Japan. Hidari Ude No Yume was recorded at the legendary Alfa Studio 'A' in Tokyo during the Summer of 1981. Sakamoto decided to record an album rooted in pop, following the more experimental B-2 Unit and his landmark electro debut Thousand Knives. Sakamoto invited British producer Robin Scott to co-produce. They entered the Alfa studio in July 1981 with his fellow Yellow Magic Orchestra musicians Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, keyboard programmer extraordinaire Hideki Matsutake who'd been on Sakamoto's first two albums and became YMO's unofficial fourth member, violinist Kaoru Sato, saxophonist Satoshi Nakamura, and American guitarist Adrian Belew. Together, they created a fascinating mix of pop, ambient and electronic music with elements of avant-garde and traditional Japanese music, the whole firmly rooted in a solid groove. From the funk of 'Relâché' to the new wave feel of 'Venezia' and the ambient minimalism of 'Slat Dance,' the album is remarkably consistent while displaying a wealth of global influences. Newly remastered from the original tapes by renowned engineer Bernie Grundman. Comes with original artwork featuring cover shot by famous photographer Masayoshi Sukita." - Wewantsounds
