Free Music Notes for BTTB
Free Music Review: Pleasant. Light. Excellent background/mood music.
Hit: 5 Stars
BTTB - Back to the Basics - is an album I bought after my daughter mentioned she liked the melody of one of the pieces ("Chanson"). I've never regretted it -- it is such a mellow, enjoyable collection of relatively simple piano pieces that it can brighten quiet days or provide an escape from noisy ones. I agree with other reviewers that it is not exciting. It is not meant to be.
BTTB Poster
Best known for his work as a soundtrack composer (The Last Emperor, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence) and a founding member of avant-rockers Yellow Magic Orchestra, composer Ryuichi Sakamoto gets "back to the basics" with this album. Of course, "the basics" here involve simple impressionist-inspired piano ditties that often sound more like diluted Vangelis than compositions from the cutting edge. But that's OK, as long as you consider this as relaxing background music and not the shape of classical music's future. BTTB was a hit in Japan in 1999, especially because of the single "Energy Flow" (a piece that Sakamoto admits was originally written as a commercial jingle). This release features one new track ("Reversing") and plenty of other soothing, melodic works. --Jason VerlindeClassical Music CDs
