This is the second in the "Year Book" series of three CDs released in 2015.
The series has once again brought together the first 10 years of 坂本龍一's musical career.
It begins with a violin sonata from his days at Tokyo University of the Arts and ends with a frenzied live track from YMO's "The End of Asia" in London in 1979, which had never been released before.
From the first half, which is mainly classical and contemporary music, to the middle half, which is a compilation of masterpieces from the arranger's era, and the second half, which is experimental music and techno-pop, this is a yearbook that traces the turbulent 1970s in sound.
Many of the works are first-time CDs or commercial products, but the highlight of the collection is the inclusion of the entire performance of "Memories of Nazca (Music as a Non-Dream Device or Anti-Communal Function)" from his 1978 solo exhibition.
In addition to a commentary on 坂本龍一's work, a booklet featuring an interview with Haruomi Hosono, who discussed 坂本龍一 of this period, is included.
