The album experimented with different styles, such as "Thousand Knives" and "The End of Asia"-in which electronic music was fused with traditional Japanese music-while "Grasshoppers" is a more minimalistic piano song. Sakamoto later composed Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor (1987), which earned him the Academy Award with fellow composers David Byrne and Cong Su.

Cong Su’s contribution to the soundtrack album comprises just one cue – Lunch – but there is much more of his music in the film; Su was basically responsible for writing all the period-specific Chinese source music one hears in and around the imperial palace during Pu Yi’s childhood. Most of it sounds much like Lunch, which is a soft, quiet, intimate piece for a number of Chinese folk instruments, including a dizi flute, a pipa lute, a guzheng, various metallic percussion items, and the ubiquitous erhu. It’s very authentic sounding, and has a calming, peaceful tone. Virgin Records 0777-7-86029-2-7 (1987). Music composed and arranged by Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne, and Cong Su. Conducted by Gavin Wright. Additional arrangements and programming by Hans Zimmer, Hiro Sugawara, Koji Ueno, Lau Hong Quan and Yuji Nomi. Recorded and mixed by Steve Nye and Ian Sylvester.

The Last Emperor - Movie Soundtrack. LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Ryuichi Sakamoto Format: Vinyl. While opinions differ on the movie, the soundtrack for The Last Emperor is pure delight from first note to last. David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame) might seem like an unusual choice to contribute to the soundtrack, but it's very apparent he studied the film, worked hard, and composed some masterpieces. This soundtrack makes the movie, no doubt about it. The authentic Chinese instruments lend audio authenticity and transport the listener to a magical world of musical make believe. If you liked the movie, you will LOVE the soundtrack.
