Ryuichi Sakamoto - B-2 Unit (1980 Japanese Pressing)

Ryuichi Sakamoto – B-2 Unit (1980 Japanese Pressing)

Out of stock

$50.00

“Released in 1980 while Yellow Magic Orchestra was enjoying its first wave of mega-success, B-2 Unit was Ryuichi Sakmoto’s second full length solo effort. Contrasting with the pop-oriented works Sakamoto was doing with YMO at the time, B-2 Unit was produced with a focus on sounds and tones rather than traditional song strucutres. B-2 Unit has proven to be very much ahead of its time and extremely influential in the development of electronic music. “”Riot In Lagos,”” in particular, is often cited as the blueprint for electro/techno sounds that would rise to prominence in the ensuing decade.”
