Osamu Sato - Linen Records Presents Osamu Sato Studio Live (February 2021 In Tokyo) / Bootleg Download

What can really be said about the one and only Osamu Sato without feeling the need to go in depth about all the range and quality of his work over these decades? Well I guess just re-state, even though it has never been stated in this very blog before, the fact that he is one of my personal favorite artists in the world of videogames, visual art, and electronic music. It has been that way for quite a long while now, I remember playing LSD Dream Emulator when I was really young and rather than being perplexed or mesmerized by the wonderful visuals and the miscellaneous nature of its experience I was just amazed with the music more than anything. It would take years before I found out that the man had a rather considerable discography behind him, and whats more, a very worthwhile one at that. 

But outside of magnificent works like Transmigration, The Esoteric Retina or the multiple LSD themed works, Sato also had a very mesmerizing collection of live/in studio performances, or sets to be more appropriate, to be found out there. Needless to say, as soon as I found most of those I just dived right into them as much as I could, but there were always some that were just the cream at the top. Live at Dommune and Live From The Studio 2020 just put Sato in full force on a modern context, the man just has a knack to create wild remixes and to fully elaborate an immersive experience in such fascinating ways through his sets that it all just helped to make me completely excited and enthusiastic about whatever the man came up with moving forward. 

It is safe to assume that the pandemic interrupted a lot of Sato's plans, but it is obvious he is doing his best regardless of the circumstances. Sure, he has been in the spotlight of his fandom for various reasons, most notably the fact that he got involved with NFT's, making a lot of long time fans suddenly want to disassociate with him completely, but in a personal aspect it didn't bother me one bit (sure, I don't support it, but at the same time it doesn't affect any of the previous experience I've had with the man's work, and I personally think that if something like that does have a huge effect on your perception of the ENTIRE work of an artist then there is something very weird about you, but alas). I still look forward to whatever the man has to deliver in the next few years, but until the time for official releases come we still have treats such as these ones to enjoy in all their glory (but I still wonder what on earth would an official DJ Mix CD/release from the man be like, or if there would ever be plans for one). 

This was a set Osamu did in early 2021 back in Linen Records in promotion of his Transformed Collection album from 2020, footage was recorded and uploaded in two parts on the man's youtube channel and what we have is something on a similar vein of the Studio 2020 set, but more fleshed out and better polished in some aspects. Some of the mixes are just lovely and very hypnotizing to listen to over and over again, and the set as a whole is just a blast, perfect to just put in the background and relax with. Regardless of what the man has done, there is no doubt in my mind that I am still excited and interested in whatever he decides to do next.

Long Life To The Esoteric Retina!!!

PS: Please go watch and subscribe to Sato's Youtube channel, it's always a blast to watch any of his videos, just wish the man uploaded much more content than what we have available now.
