Deep Nalström takes you on a trip to a space where New Age meets Nuova Neapolitan Funk. Crashing landing somewhere familiar, yet alien. The environment, lush, unspoiled. A musical terrain not dissimilar to Vakula's Arcturus. His Naive Melodies accompanying your slow careful first steps through a forest that time forgot. Wondering at the colours, breathing with the birds, as digital palms creak in the breeze. Navigating Eno & Byrne's Bush Of Ghosts, while he fuses the ethnological with the technological, as if he were on holiday in Hassell's Fourth World. Machine interference buzzes like animal chatter…

Neo Geo is a 1987 album by Ryuichi Sakamoto. The term "neo geo", or "new world", is derived from Sakamoto himself as a way to describe worldwide musical diversity in regard to genre (similar to world music and world beat).

Sakamoto's all-star blend of Western and Eastern music styles is a triumphant success for the composer, and a consistently good listen. On the title track he takes a traditional Japanese folk song and blends it into a funk groove provided by Bootsy Collins, Bill Laswell, and Sly Dunbar. Unlike Byrne and Eno's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, this blend of cultures is coming from the opposing angle and stays truer to the source material. But that track is only one of Sakamoto's approaches, and on several other tracks he joins with Laswell to create a crisp, techno-cultural hybrid that sounds like nothing except like pure Sakamoto. On "Risky," a subdued Iggy Pop lends vocals and lyrics, and doesn't come across as an interloper. And on "Okinawa Song," Sakamoto seamlessly integrates the southern island culture into his grand scheme.
