Esperanto – Ryuichi Sakamoto – – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1985, ‘Esperanto’ is a testament to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s daring spirit and compositional ingenuity. Crafted as a soundtrack for choreographer Molissa Fenley, this album stands apart in Sakamoto’s discography for its fearless embrace of minimalism and textural exploration. Sakamoto’s mastery of analog synths and digital textures is on full display, with each track unfolding like a surreal sonic landscape—abstract yet strikingly evocative.

For listeners who crave music that challenges the boundaries of electronic composition, ‘Esperanto’ is a quiet revelation. Its rhythms are often fractured and unpredictable, creating a sense of movement and depth that mirrors the abstract language of contemporary dance. Yet, the album remains deeply human—warm, questioning, and always searching.

Collectors and fans of electronic music history will find ‘Esperanto’ essential. It bridges Sakamoto’s work with Yellow Magic Orchestra and his later, more meditative solo projects, capturing a moment when electronic music was both experimental and cinematic. Owning this record means holding a piece of avant-garde history—one that continues to inspire producers, composers, and sound artists decades after its release.
