Limite Edition Black Splattered Vinyl. First overview of his remarkable catalogue of film scores, fully approved by the composer and performed by Brussels Philharmonic. Sakamoto was already a celebrated pioneer in electronic music and composer / pianist / singer in Japan when director Nagisa Oshima asked him to write the score for Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence in 1983 and also to star alongside David Bowie. In a 30 year plus career since then he has worked with the cream of film directors including Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor), Brian De Palma (Snake Eyes), Pedro Almodovar (High Heels) and most recently Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (The Revenant). This compilation is a fitting tribute to his status as one of the greatest living musicians and film composers.
