I just listend two tracks on U~tube and it sound beautifull,just for me the pianosounds are to loud,have to hear this on a good stereo equipment hanging out in your seat of porch.now the good news is (don't pay lots of money to people they just wone earn quick money and are not musiclovers) TOUCH will bring this nice gem out in europe this year (i hope so) and everybody can buy this on a normal price. There are a two other albums like this on touch and they are pretty good.Fennesz hold him self in on this gem and i am not sorry to hear becouse with Sakamoto you have to balance and they do,so end of story.thanks FENNESZ and SAKAMOTO for this beautifull piece of work!!!

These two composers often produce great music together. However, this long work is not one of them. The first CD, though very pretty and atmospheric, is very derivative of Erik Satie ( a trait Sakamoto should be wary of). They seem to rely too heavily on the combination of their instruments and, now that the listener is somewhat familiar with this sound combination, should aim more for invention.
