Esperanto is the fifth solo album by Ryuichi Sakamoto and was commissioned for a dance of the same name by choreographer Molissa Fenley which debuted in New York City in 1985. [1] The experimental electronic album includes layers of sampled voices, and marks a look back at his non-pop oriented second solo album, B-2 Unit. The album includes contributions from YAZ-KAZ and Arto Lindsay. AllMusic called it "one of Sakamoto's strangest, most uncompromising albums."[2]
The album reached position 9 on the Oricon LP chart.[3]
Released in Japan Midi, Inc.'s School label, Esperanto did not see a U.S. release until 2021.[4]
