Toshiyuki Tsuchitori/Ryuichi Sakamoto - Disappointment-Hateruma (LP)

Recorded in Tokyo in 1975 and originally released in 1976, Disappointment-Hateruma holds the distinction of being the very first album released under Ryuichi Sakamoto's own name. A collaboration with percussionist Toshiyuki Tsuchitori, this extraordinary record draws from free jazz, Balinese gamelan, classical minimalism, and musique concrète to create something wholly unlike anything else in either artist's catalog. The result is a daring and deeply immersive listening experience that stands as a landmark in avant-garde music history.

Now available outside of Japan for the first time, and reissued on vinyl for the first time since its original pressing nearly five decades ago, this Wewantsounds release has been newly remastered from the original masters by acclaimed engineer Heba Kadry. The package is presented with original artwork and includes a two-page insert featuring new liner notes by Andy Beta, offering fresh context for one of the most fascinating and overlooked records of the 1970s.
