04 Opus ♫ Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1 [piano] ♫ 05 Stranger Somewhere (Orchestral Commercial Version) Sylvian & Sakamoto - Forbidden Colours 07 Forbidden Dub

Item 1: Mrs. Veneer buys Ryuichi Sakamoto's CD of solo piano pieces, BTTB. It's quite beautiful and Sakamoto mostly avoids the New Age clichés that plague so many piano CDs. Some of the pieces are obvious homages to classical works, such as "Opu...

Japan: Ghosts Japan - Ghosts

I rarely remember to search for my old favorites on YouTube, so it often happens that I happen upon them while blog surfing. That's how I just turned up a couple lip-synching performances by Japan of the first song I ever heard by them, "Ghosts."...
