Review
In the liner notes to his new compilation CD Moto.tronic, mercurial composer Ryuichi Sakamoto writes, "I want to break down the walls between genres, categories and cultures." Based on the restless variety of his output, he's done it. On this 14-track collection that emphasizes already available work from the late 1980s and '90s, we get soundtrack scores, solo piano, and remixes as well as syth-pop, techno, classical, and bossa nova music. The bonus DVD adds five arty videos to the package. The problem is that Sakamoto's greatest strength--his versatility--is his greatest weakness when it comes to a compilation. His always eclectic and beautiful albums are rich tapestries of sounds and ideas that resonate off each other; so when you cut and paste pieces from these diverse albums together, it sounds more like one man's fight with ADD than a career compendium. Those looking for an introduction would be better served with The Last Emperor soundtrack, his Morelenbuam2/Sakamoto collaborations, or the aptly titled Beauty. --Tad Hendrickson
