Neo Geo (album)

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).

The track "Risky" featuring Iggy Pop on vocals was released as a single with another track from Neo Geo "After All" as the B-side. The music video for "Risky" was directed by Meiert Avis and was released in two different versions to accompany the 7" and 12" extended version of the song. The latter contains scenes of female nudity.
