I chanced upon the 12-inch while in a department store in Kobe in the summer of 1985. Initially, I preferred Sakamoto's relatively dry mix (TYO). And the b-side (a snippet of which appears in the music video), is still brilliant.
Discovering this with 15 on German Radio, recording on Cassette, never knew the Name of Singer (i only remember he was from Japan) and after 38 Years finally found it!
Spent the early 80s on college radio, knew of Takahashi's solo work and with YMO, but never heard of this collaboration until 2023. Thank you for this 👍
@@derekdakis7675 Ditto for me too! I'm a big Sakamoto fan (and The Yellow Magic Orchastra by extention). I think bands like FEMM owe some money to Mr. Sakamoto!
Amazing single! I bought it when it was released, then I was waiting for the forthcoming masterpiece album Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia. Then I discovered YMO.

I haven't been diligent in keeping up with Mr Sakamoto's career but I still wonder if he made any more movie or albums.

Don't think so... strangely, according to "whosampled" this song has not been sampled by anyone! I'm sure it has been, but nothing well known apparently. That intro sounds like a lot of more contemporary songs for sure.

Why are you telling us? I hate the US-Isreal connection. One of the reasons the Islamic terrorists despise us. The U.S. sends your country millions of dollars a year; millions poor people here could use.
Guys, what happens when two Gods of Synth-Pop meet? THIS. I LOVE this song & this is my favorite version.
Wasn't even born when this dropped. hearing this and seeing all the comments from peoples memories is very refreshing . Thanks for sharing !
I did not know this version yet. Great. Thank you very, very much.

well the singer is Thomas Dolby who is British . But its Originally on Ryuichis album
Ryuichi Sakamoto & Thomas Dolby first time I have heard this WOW what a combination
I remember finding this gem, pre You Tube. A 12". Remember them?
I saw two of my favorite artists together, and KNEW this would be worth a listen or 100!
Spent the early 80s on college radio, knew of Takahashi's solo work and with YMO, but never heard of this collaboration until 2023. Thank you for this 👍
The r/OldElectronicMusic subreddit brought me here!
🔥 💣 💚
Invokes feelings of nostalgia, even though I haven't heard it until now. Sounds like a vintage arcade game.
Absolutely love Thomas's work.
Same here, although, sadly, Sakamoto passed away.... 😢
What i have absorbed is that 80s JP videogame music was highly influenced by Sakamoto and Hosono.
I had no idea of such an unexpected mind-blowing duet. Thank you for sharing.
聴くと初めて聴いた時の事を思い出す。今でも好きな曲です。
Good heavens, Mister Sakamoto?!
You're beautiful!
このバーションがいい。
these two couldn't fail!! sounds magical
中学生の頃だったと思います、このレコードを買って聴いてました
GTという楽曲の方が好きでしたが、こちらも良く聴いてました
とても懐かしいです😁
I'm just discovering Sakamoto more in deep, quite impressed of all that i'm founding
Same dude, Sakamoto seems to be hugely unappreciated for an artist who’s been producing amazing music for so long.

Field Work (London Mix) Lyrics
[Chorus]
Better brush up on my field work (Field work)
Gonna brush up on my field work (Field work)
Gonna get my fingers dirty
Better brush up on my field work
[Verse 1]
One thing I need
Is to understand this jungle
Before I can untangle
The part of me that's fungoid
Was a hundred and three
When the world was still a baby
But instinct's an equation
You could program in an android
[Chorus]
Brush up on my field work (Field work)
Better brush up on my field work (Field work)
Gonna get my fingers dirty
Gonna brush up on my field work
[Verse 2]
Somewhere inside
There's a place where we can travel
A code we could unscramble
A riddle to unravel
[Chorus]
Brush up on my field work (Field work)
Better brush up on my field work (Field work)
Gonna get my fingers dirty
Gonna brush up on my field work
[Verse 3]
Somewhere inside me
Are the caves of Iwo Jima
And the sands of Arizona
Better brush up on my field work
[Instrumental Bridge]

Gonna brush up on my field work
[Refrain]
Somewhere inside
Gonna brush up on my field work (Field work)
Gonna get my fingers dirty
Gonna brush up on my field work

l love this Music.
Timeless beauty here.
名作を、商品化して買える当たり前の、良い時代
Just love this, sounds like it´s been released today!!
Too bad it's not on rotation like the 'other' music is. the hits, chart toppers, limp biscuits all. No names mentioned. You know them...😂
God it is just so good, and as a scientist who does field work (less than I like), I guess I got my song
What field of study? I’m considering nuclear myself
So dope!! I got the Japanese 12". same version on side 1
goes crazy hard
I knew of YMO & Mr Dolby for a long time and then Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence came out. That movie is a "must see" in that it shows not only how great a composer Mr Sakamoto is, but how well he can act as well!

Fantastic song

Was this before ' flat earth'? Or Japan? Great track thanks! 👍 RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto ❤️🙏
I want to say Fieldwork came out a little after Flat Earth, but I'm not sure.

別バージョン(USA版)は超ロックでトーマスドルビー(英国版) とかなり剥離感あるけどお国柄だから仕方ないですね。
Not my favorite of either Sakamoto or Dolby. Still nice to hear it after all those years.

Ostin tämän vuosikymmeneniä sitten vinyylinä ja vielä kuulostaa uudelta verrattuna tämän päivän rap-paskaan..
pretentious lyrics. great stereoscopy and melody.. gotta love the mac paint cover.
if Dolby ever gets his fingers dirty it's just for a hobby or something
