非常強大的混音專輯！！阪本龍一(Ryuichi Sakamoto)因罹患咽喉癌，在2014年宣布暫停所有海內外演出，專心抗癌，並允諾痊癒後會再度全心投入音樂。而在睽違多年後，2017年阪本龍一抗癌成功，並如期推出美麗簡潔、令人驚艷、述說生命故事的個人專輯《async》，這張專輯去年縱橫多家音樂媒體榜單，成為不少樂迷的年度最愛。2018年，阪本龍一邀請眾多優秀的先鋒派製作人和藝術家，將《async》重新混音，合作音樂人包括：Oneohtrix Point Never、Arca、Alva Noto、Electric Youth、Fennesz、Cornelius、JóhannJóhannsson、S U R V I V E、Andy Stott，超級華麗。
這張專輯也讓《async》愛好者能更深入坂本龍一的音樂思想，同時是通往當代實驗電子音樂世界的一扇窗。（Words By 熊也）
