5.0 out of 5 stars Is it possible to add to Chasm's greatness? Yes!, August 11, 2006

The spirits of the original songs of Chasm are perfectly preserved, yet at the same time, the distinct styles of the other artists are very recognizable. In some cases, the fusion of the two results in a song that is more than twice as good. A must-buy for any Sakamoto fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars The "War and Peace" remix is worth the price of the cd, July 31, 2008

Ryuichi Sakamoto has always been hit and miss with me. He has written some of the most beautiful piano melodies ever created, yet on many albums, the masterpieces are accompanied by 30 minutes of white noise. This brings us to "Bricolages", an entire cd's worth of remixes from Sakamoto's 2004 release, "Chasm".

Like "Chasm", "Bricolages" is painful to listen to in spots, but when you get to track 3, the Cornelius remix of Sakamoto's thoughtful "War and Peace", prepare to be blown away. Keigo Oymada (aka Cornelius) does a brilliant job of enhancing Sakamoto's original concept and taking it into an entirely different dimension.

There are a few more listenable tracks here but "War and Peace" is the reason to purchase this cd. A very good tune transformed into an unforgettable classic. One of the finest remixes I've ever heard.
