Ryuichi Sakamoto & Thomas Dolby - Field Work (Long London version) 

Guys, what happens when two Gods of Synth-Pop meet? THIS. I LOVE this song & this is my favorite version.

Ryuichi Sakamoto & Thomas Dolby first time I have heard this WOW what a combination

I chanced upon the 12-inch while in a department store in Kobe in the summer of 1985. Initially, I preferred Sakamoto's relatively dry mix (TYO). And the b-side (a snippet of which appears in the music video), is still brilliant.

Invokes feelings of nostalgia, even though I haven't heard it until now. Sounds like a vintage arcade game. Absolutely love Thomas's work.

Discovering this with 15 on German Radio, recording on Cassette, never knew the Name of Singer (i only remember he was from Japan) and after 38 Years finally found it!

Spent the early 80s on college radio, knew of Takahashi's solo work and with YMO, but never heard of this collaboration until 2023. Thank you for this 👍

聴くと初めて聴いた時の事を思い出す。今でも好きな曲です。

Fantastic song

I had no idea of such an unexpected mind-blowing duet. Thank you for sharing.

Field Work (London Mix) Lyrics [Chorus] Better brush up on my field work (Field work) Gonna brush up on my field work (Field work) Gonna get my fingers dirty Better brush up on my field work [Verse 1] One thing I need Is to understand this jungle Before I can untangle The part of me that's fungoid Was a hundred and three When the world was still a baby But instinct's an equation You could program in an android [Chorus] Brush up on my field work (Field work) Better brush up on my field work (Field work) Gonna get my fingers dirty Gonna brush up on my field work [Verse 2] Somewhere inside There's a place where we can travel A code we could unscramble A riddle to unravel [Chorus] Brush up on my field work (Field work) Better brush up on my field work (Field work) Gonna get my fingers dirty Gonna brush up on my field work [Verse 3] Somewhere inside me Are the caves of Iwo Jima And the sands of Arizona Better brush up on my field work [Instrumental Bridge] You might also like Field Work (Long London Mix) Thomas Dolby & Ryuichi Sakamoto Kill Bill SZA Nobody Gets Me SZA [Verse 3] Somewhere inside me Are the caves of Iwo Jima And the sands of Arizona Better brush up on my field work [Chorus] Better brush up on my field work Better brush up on my field work Gonna get my fingers dirty Gonna brush up on my field work [Refrain] Somewhere inside Gonna brush up on my field work (Field work) Gonna get my fingers dirty Gonna brush up on my field work [Outro] (Field work) Better (Field work) Gonna (Field work) Better (Field work) Better (Field work) Better (Field work, field work) (Field work) Better (Field work, field work)

I'm just discovering Sakamoto more in deep, quite impressed of all that i'm founding

I knew of YMO & Mr Dolby for a long time and then Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence came out. That movie is a "must see" in that it shows not only how great a composer Mr Sakamoto is, but how well he can act as well! I haven't been diligent in keeping up with Mr Sakamoto's career but I still wonder if he made any more movie or albums.

l love this Music. Timeless beauty here.

中学生の頃だったと思います、このレコードを買って聴いてました GTという楽曲の方が好きでしたが、こちらも良く聴いてました とても懐かしいです😁

Amazing single! I bought it when it was released, then I was waiting for the forthcoming masterpiece album Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia. Then I discovered YMO.

El verdadero conjunto que desarrollo y evoluciono la musica eléctronica concreta y experimental en los 70s: Moroder (EDM NRG & Synthpop /Electro Munich), Jean M. Jarre (Electro Francesa Moderna post concreta), Tangerine Dreams & Klaus Schulze (Electro Berlín), Dan Lacksman (Electro Belga / Eléctronic Systems & Telex), Ryuichi Sakamoto & A. Housono (Japan Electro / YMO) y otros pilares como Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Tonet, Gizzi, Hayat, Pinhas, Martín W. & Ian C... Como resultado se consolida la 2da generación de la EDM 80s: House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Acid House, Rave, Eurobeat...incluido la llamada "EBM" & Electro Industrial. El Krautrock & Experimental Düsseldorf de Kraftwerk 👎 no aporto mucho y tomo varios de los modelos eléctronicos de los artistas citados.

Brilliant!!!

坂本龍一とトーマスドルビーだ。探せばこのカセットテープまだ有るかも。

2Geniuses collaborate.

トーマスドルビーとのコラボでしたよね。

2:46 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Was this before ' flat earth'? Or Japan? Great track thanks! 👍 RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto ❤️🙏

I love engineer jokes

Not my favorite of either Sakamoto or Dolby. Still nice to hear it after all those years.

Long Tokyo mix is great too.

that sound in the intro...I know I heard it before.. Does the Chemical Brothers sampled it?

Sounds like, Pet Shop Boys...

むちゃ糞かっけー

Ostin tämän vuosikymmeneniä sitten vinyylinä ja vielä kuulostaa uudelta verrattuna tämän päivän rap-paskaan..
