Another artist that should need little or no introduction here is Ryuichi Sakamoto who died a year ago today. One of Japan's premier musicians & composers encompassing electronic & ethnic music through the sounds of jazz, rock, & classical.
Here's a 12" 45rpm that I'm particularly fond of, from 1983.
Side 1 -
Riot in Lagos (Long Version)
Side 2 -

Warhead
R.I.P. Ryuichi,
