"BTTB" is nearly a tribute album to Sakamoto's classical influences. Yet rather than persuade with articulated opinions. For this reason alone I'm deeply indebted to Sakamoto. It's somewhat difficult to describe the impression "BTTB" made when I first listened to the album nearly two years ago, but in the very least I can say this: it was, at the time, my single inspiration for learning the piano and proved an accessible gateway into the music of Romantic and Contemporary Classical. All in all, BTTB is a mellifluous CD that highlights Sakamoto's heartfelt dedication to the piano and fascination with various musical traditions. With "Railroad Man," the CD's third track, the pianist and composer attempts to depict the ambience of steam locomotives. On the CD's first two tracks, "Energy Flow" and "Put Your Hands Up - Piano Version," Sakamoto is concerned with issues of healing and therapy.
On BTTB, Sakamoto also plays with a variety of themes.
Mathew Passion" and medieval-esque Gregorian chants. 2," were born out of his fascination with Bach's "St. Sakamoto's two choral-inspired pieces, "Choral No. For instance, on BTTB, Sakamoto delves into avant-garde piano techniques, playing a prepared piano on the gently circular "Prelude" and "Uetax." With his song "Bachata," Sakamoto interprets folkloric music from the Dominican Republic. Instead of settling on one or two styles, the renowned pianist and composer experimented with several.
At the time that Sakamoto began composing for BTTB, he thought that a CD of piano music felt right, though he was not sure of what kind of styles he wanted to play around with.

While this is slightly unrelated to the topic at hand, it is also worth mentioning that Creative Assembly has recently announced a brand new campaign pack for Rome 2, as well as a new free DLC that will arrive alongside it.In a departure from his more electronically amplified works, composer and pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto's BTTB stands as a sometimes contemplative, a periodically nostalgic, and an often new age-sounding acoustic piano album. It's one hell of a disadvantage to overcome, but that's exactly what makes winning that campaign so enjoyable - you know you beat the odds and persevered where many others have fallen! Your economy is in tatters, your enemies are literally everywhere and are often better equipped, and to further rub salt into the wound, your weak economy quickly results in the much more powerful Eastern Roman Empire betraying you. It's technically cheating since it's not Rome 2, but it's one of those campaigns that have stuck around in my memory because of how brutal the early turns are. Personally, I'd vote for the Western Roman Empire in Atilla, especially on the Legendary difficulty setting. The nominees shouldn't come as much of a surprise given how terrible some of their early turns are, but it's still worth checking out if you feel like trying to overcome the odds. So if you were looking to give Rome 2 another try, now would be a very good time to do so, even if you don't own the Desert Kingdoms DLC as all of the new content is still present on the campaign map.įor the veterans among you that are looking for an extra bit of challenge, however, Creative Assembly has now revealed their video list of the top 5 hardest starting positions.
Total War: Rome 2's recent Desert Kingdoms expansion has brought in four new factions to play around with, as well as a variety of content and improvements to the game itself.
