Dreamland Idle Orchestra's been the soundtrack of my weekend. Such a great, fresh, vibrant album. It's good for what ails you and nice and eclectic. Makes me feel good, only a select few IDM albums can do that.
His previous album, Dummy Variations, is a mystery to me though, haven't been able to hear it yet though. What's the good or bad word on it? And is he ever going to release a follow-up or an EP or something?

superb album indeed...
fresh is a good description, fresh and melodic, inventive and meticulous
i like it very much for it's simple yet effective sound, and some of the song are true great compositions...

I checked discogs.com... I thought Idle was his only one too, based on Allmusic.com, but discogs is always more complete with this stuff.
Tracklisting: 01 A Shine On Your Head (3:59) 02 But Not For Me (3:32) 03 The Day Before Yesterday (0:40) 04 Divine Lowlife (2:17) 05 Are (1:00) 06 Every Beauty Has Its Scum (3:33) 07 So Far So Good (2:40) 08 Ballad For The Unloved (3:06) 09 The Day After Tomorrow (0:57) 10 Exotic Man Walking (3:25) 11 Belly Button Queen (2:28) 12 Disc O'Nostalgia (3:44) 13 Last Rights (2:28) 14 A Bad Day In The Midlife (2:53) 15 The Day After Tomorrow Part 2 (0:57) 16 Fumbling Towards Ecstacy (3:43) 17 At The Park (3:09)

taken from the milk factory (i think im going to check this)
Tatsuya Yoshida, as he is known to his parents, releases his first album under his Joseph Nothing moniker on Michael Paradinas’ Planet Mu label. Reminiscent of both Paradinas’ µ-ziq and Richard D. James’ Aphex Twin projects, Yoshida also brings his own personality to a funky and imaginative record.
All along this album, the shadows of his masters are present, especially on tracks like A Shine On Your Head or Ballad For The Unloved, where Nothing displays a comparable ability to Paradinas or James with drill’n’bass ambiences. However, Yoshida also creates more clever songs, using a plethora of noises and beat configurations, as in the hip-hop inspired Exotic Man Walking or Divine Lowlife, the bouncy electro-pop So Far So Good or the pac-man-esque Disc O’Nostalgia. All the way through, Yoshida applies sounds and effects to child-like melodies, turning them into humorous little odysseys, ranging from totally innocent to messy punk-ish tracks, with no particular order. Tracks like But Not For Me or The Day Before Yesterday are impressive by their melodic qualities and catchy feel. But then, Every Beauty Has It’s Scum, So Far So Good or Belly Button Queen are far more deconstructed. Yoshita has a tendency to disregard the rules, and genres collide when least expected, which makes Dummy Variations a refreshing experience.
Keeping well in line with most of Planet Mu releases, Joseph Nothing’s Dummy Variation is very heteroclite, and by scattering his little gems all along, he remains in control of a very creative and amusing record.

Awesome, that whet my appetite, gotta hear it. Now be a dear and buy it for me.
''All the way through, Yoshida applies sounds and effects to child-like melodies, turning them into humorous little odysseys, ranging from totally innocent to messy punk-ish tracks, with no particular order''
Sounds like its successor. Hallelujah.

That's nothing (!), I used to wait that long all the time when ordering from Columbia House, CDHQ, and BMG (which by the way, were great deals!). Getting a big box full of 15 CDs was like Christmas.
Anyone else like Nothing?

You are the sweetest thing. A winner. Rip that muckafutha for me.
I'd rather Dummy Variations, but beggars can't be choosers.
