Power in Simplicity - simply beautiful,
By "dermoth" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discord (Audio CD)
In 'Discord', Ryuichi Sakamoto captures Grief, Anger, Prayer and Salvation in haunting, searching instrumentals. 'Grief' is simply beautiful - the despair in the violins' cry counterpointed by the attempted consolation of the bass - the redoubled cries of the violins - you get the idea... 'Anger' is disjointed, aimless, powerful, then rythmic, then chaotic - I wouldn't like to see it's creator in a bad mood!! Probably the least accessible track on the album... but then again this is not an album made to be _completely_ accessible. 'Prayer' depicts a search for peace - a combination of tired bass and questioning oboe - with supportive piano and horn as the track progresses and uplifts a little... 'Salvation' begins with what sounds like a recording of a support group - sometimes this can be irksome, but Sakamoto uses the murmuring with a wave-like effect which builds expectancy for what is to come - a revisiting of the earlier themes in a more structured, peaceful composition, punctuated by poetic ramblings - the original melody from 'Grief' is reproduced, with the edge taken off with more instruments supporting the violins and a slight change in tone - a fitting and satisfactory conclusion to the album.This is musical visualisation - occasionally whimsical, occasionally profound, always entertaining and thought-provoking.

Embrace,
By kate (Tulsa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discord (Audio CD)
Sakamoto embraces a world of feelings here. You can sit and listen, you will become anger or prayer. The music swallows you up like an torrenting ocean of warm rain. You can't do anything but let it wash over you.

Sakamoto creates an exquisite sound space,
By Andy Niable "andyx" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discord (Audio CD)
With or without viewing the visual components of the enhanced CD, a listener will be swept away by these four very different movements. The enhanced graphics when viewed on a computer only add to the experience. This CD is truly transcendent, one of my favorites.
