i like some of his music, but it's not about that. it's his last.fm bio: "Susumu Yokota is an electronic artist from Japan and widely accepted as one of the most talented composers and producers in electronic music today." ????! that's bold. real goddamn bold son. thoughts? |

His mum does his PR. |

|

|
|
who on your opinion would deserve this title ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You know, I actually agree with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a bold statement but on the other hand when it comes to real "talent" it's difficult to mention anyone else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the key question. what is meant with "talented" ? are you up and coming, or are you still talented after being in the business for 30 years? if the latter is true, i could mention 30 artists "more talented". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on a good day i might accept the talented and up and coming variant, but.. i dunno.. |

names dood - names |

you know DUDE, we're not discussing whether other artists are more or less talented than susumu yokota. "widely accepted as the most talented". i haven't read this shit anywhere else than on last.fm. i want to see quotes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite a delicate topic in fact. but it is you see a bit like mozart - you don't have to like his music at all. you can even hate it. but you have to admit that he had some "talent" which is not intensified by mass media or last.fm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you misunderstand the topic completely. whether i like him or not is irrelevant and therefor i don't have to admit shit. i'm asking on what basis you can say the following about him on a "serious" page like last.fm: "widely accepted as one of the most talented composers and producers in electronic music today." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course it's relevant if you like him or not. if you would you would never create this topic. also - i'm sure that there are a lot of entries on last.fm with similar statements that you totally agree with. |
||||||||

God this is a dull read. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you read the first six words of my OP you know what i think of his music. it's not like i have anything against susumu yokota. i like the guy. and no, i can't remember reading statements as bold as the aforementioned. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it is. it's primarily because sadist is being a sadist tonight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then i'm deeply sorry for bumping this nonsense topic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty much every bio/press release is like that. artists and labels aren't gonna say they're shit, are they? very few are actually modest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recommend an album please. |

some person's name + question mark does not constitute a comprehensible or even acceptable subject line. let's not make this mistake again, alright? |

that's name of my favorite of his, sakura. |

i'm listening to it, nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
symbol is good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as a matter of fact, i am too. it's good and different, at least in the world of ambient. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As for Yokota, i'd say he's one of the most talented composers and producers in electronic music today. I heard he used to suffer from Helvetica Scenario. |
||||||||

Who cares what it says, it not a reflection of the artist's thoughts on their own work. It won't have been written by him. |
||||||||

i'm done with this thread. i've forgotten what point i was making, or if there ever was one. |

A reaction that can happen with malhandling of Calcium, my friend. |

I'll go and get the pointy hat with the big D on it. |

The correct aswer is: susumy yokota is NOT widely accepted as one of the most talented composers andproducers in electronic music today. I'm glad to clear that up. Why does the japanese techno stars use their own names? They all sound the same! susoku yakatomo! yakuza mokataso! katuma sakatomu! Why can't they have names like Japonpusher or Tokyo Twin? |
