Has just died. Missed out the first name.Spelling is not my strong point.However I know his work from the Yellow Magic Orchestra,working with Bowie,Eno, and David Sylvian.Perhaps his best known work is the music for Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.Which I'm about to find.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, only 71, very cool composer. I remember him from the same sources you name above plus his score for "The Last Emperor".
He previously had throat cancer and a year ago said he had been diagnosed with rectal cancer.

Well done Moaty Ya erse!
I've started humming ' La Femme Chinoise'
And most probably will do so for the rest of the fucking day!!!

Gutted. Loved his work.

Bamboo houses and bamboo music were two awesome tracks.

He made the brilliant Sylvian accessible.

Spot on, a revolutionary in his time, he sponsored Isao Tomita and Stomu Yamashda to so some great music.

Sad news. I always thought this was a brilliant combination of talents Ryuichi Sakamoto, Bill Laswell and Iggy Pop.

Was a bit shocked to read this earlier.
Was lucky enough to see him in concert in Hong Kong, incredible talent. R.I.P.

I enjoyed the film too but it must be about 30 years since I last watched it.

TBH I remember more about the soundtrack than the film itself.
