Sakamoto is above and beyond what passes for electronic music these days. He was an originator and pioneer who, along with YMO, became the next logical progression of electronic music after the innovations of Isao Tomita and Kraftwerk. This song was way ahead of its time.
In 2011, too many try to become the "next" Skrillex, the "next" Deadmau5, the "next" Justice...Sakamoto, YMO, Kraftwerk and Tomita originated what all three and the entire genre itself embodies to this day, end of story.
@URWLcentral Yo, have you had a listen to Tipper? He, in my opinion, is well beyond the norm. Incredibly complex stuff, and could well be where we're headed.
Though to his misfortune, he's not as popular as he should be.
@DroiidLife Sakamoto probably wrote this before anyone from justice was born. probably deadmau5 too. I hope you can at least appreciate it for being a pioneering song. I don't think there was anything even remotely similar to this until Aphex Twin started making IDM.
Sorting out my loft today - found my 1980 vinyl copy of B2-Unit (this track comes from it) . I'd forgotten how ahead of its time it was. Most excellent !

@DroiidLife ,,i think deadmau5 and all that lot would be stocking supermarket shelves or on unemployment benifits if this tune never exhisted.
Likely We would be listening to rock metal and folk music shite if YMO werent around
