Chasm (Ryuichi Sakamoto album)
Chasm (stylized as CHASM) is the 15th studio album by Ryuichi Sakamoto and was released in 2004. The album is experimental, pairing Sakamoto's piano work with ambient and glitch programming. Notably, Sakamoto's former bandmates from Yellow Magic Orchestra, Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, contribute on several songs under their own production name, Sketch Show. The song "coro" was featured on the soundtrack to the anime film "Appleseed", while "World Citizen - i won't be disappointed/looped piano" and "only love can conquer hate" were featured in the film "Babel". The original version of "Ngo , featured on the single for Undercooled", was used in a New Balance advertisement. "Seven Samurai - ending theme" is taken from Sakamoto's score for the PlayStation 2 game "Seven Samurai 20XX". The US version of the album replaces "the land song" with two pieces, "song" and "word". A single vinyl edition was also released, containing ten of the original fourteen songs.
