Takaaki Yoshimoto, a poet and critic with a variety of titles, visited Ryuichi Sakamoto's studio on the occasion of his high appreciation of subcultures, and explained the most advanced compositional techniques of the time using digital synthesizers, etc. This book is a planned dialogue through music. This Flexi-disc contains both the Yoshimoto side and the Sakamoto side of the "Hitosasi-Yubi No Etude" composed by Takaaki Yoshimoto in a conversation. The Sakamoto disco version isn’t bad, but the Yoshimoto version with music-box like sound is more to our taste right now. Since it’s made from sturdy vinyl, the sound quality is excellent.

詩人・評論家など様々な肩書を持つ吉本隆明がサブカルチャーを高く評価していたのを機に坂本龍一のスタジオを訪れてデジタル・シンセサイザーなどを用いた当時の最先端の作曲手法を解説、音楽を通して対談した企画本。吉本隆明が対談の中で作曲した「ひとさし指のエチュード」の吉本側と坂本側のDisco Sideを収録。坂本サイドも悪くないですがオルゴールのような響きを感じさせる吉本サイドが今の気分でしょうか。硬いソノシートの資材なので音質も良好です。
