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...

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

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

I'd rather Dummy Variations, but beggars can't be choosers.
