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

Here is a higher sound-quality version of this track.
This is my fave version of the tune, taken from the CD I bought of it from back in yonder 80s (not vinyl, as the pic suggests).

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

[@Ken_Casanova]

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!

[@MultiBRIST]

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

[@qwj68boots]

I remember finding this gem, pre You Tube. A 12". Remember them?

[@tjsase]

I saw two of my favorite artists together, and KNEW this would be worth a listen or 100!

[@blandrooker6541]

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 👍

[@kevinj.oconner788]

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.

[@NewWaveEnthusiast]

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

[@TheGeneratedNarukami06]

Same here, although, sadly, Sakamoto passed away.... 😢

[@sandwichsteen]

What i have absorbed is that 80s JP videogame music was highly influenced by Sakamoto and Hosono.

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)

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。

[@stevejarred6484]

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.

[@user-se8zh9ro6d]

Menuda colaboración les salió a éstos dos genios de la música!!!!. Absolutamente genial!!!.

[@gotogrado8075]

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

[@derekdakis7675]

Same dude, Sakamoto seems to be hugely unappreciated for an artist who’s been producing amazing music for so long.

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

[@ricardobenitez3013]

Don't think so... strangely, according to "whosampled" this song has not been sampled by anyone! I'm sure it has been, but nothing well known apparently. That intro sounds like a lot of more contemporary songs for sure.
