this guy has always been on my "artists to check out"
list... but i never have for some reason... i heard this one
thing once with all these computer speech things going on
and i thought it was woeful... can somebody recommend this
guy? or is it shithouse.

dont know about any others, but dont get 10th. thats got
loads of shitty computer voices on every track. annoyed me
so much.

he was on my list of artists to check out, but after buying
that album i dont want to check him out any further.

Nobukazu Takemura varies WILDLY in quality. Definitely check
out his remix of roni size - brown paper bag though, a good
"not too abstract" starting point.

scope and hoshinokoe are my favorite. hoshinokoe is full of
pretty, quiet melodies, a bit similar to susumu yokota.
scope is much more glitchy and unstructured. there was a lot
of buzz about scope back when it came out, but it's not
really very mind-blowing by today's standards.. it's
territory that oval covered quite thoroughly. nonetheless, a
good album.

check out his alter ego child's view also. the album
"funfair" is a nice mix of his abstract styles along with an
epic d&b track and a nice analog remake by the dylan group.

otherwise i'd recommend "scope."

I have 10th. It has its moments, but feels like
there's way too much filler.

I think the album is very close to 80 minutes, and some of
the tracks seem to go on forever without any sort of
direction.

"FallsLake" is a neat little tune.

I like all of the albums on that site... but hoshi no koe
and scope would be good, I guess.

I love his album art.

Hm, now I'm intrigued. An artist who has the nerve to be
wildly inconsistent is an artist that takes chances and goes
places. Or else he doesn't have full mastery of his art.
Anyhoo, mastery is overrated.

Falls Lake - I also niticed it's quite good judging just
from the preview sample - I like things that are melodic and
chromatic at the same time, like some of Plaid's better
(i.e., listenable) moments.

Check "Lost Treasure" too. I really like that album.

Listening to Scope - while it skips and glitches I find it's
not like Oval in mood or execution. It's more composed and
deliberate than Oval, also lighter and bubblier. Oval is
"accidental lament for human civilization #0D0A" and
Takemura is "clowns feeding popcorn to robot elephants"

dont get the Assembler albums unless you're into extremely
minimal, extremely repetitive, beatless, morphed, cut click,
bleep, bloop, etc. I am and i still dont like either of
these albums very much... it just doesnt spark the curosity
that this type of music usually does.. imo.

Sign and 10th are good, havent heard the rest.

Haha, I downloaded all of them. It's great stuff, even the
stuff that's supposed to be annoying stuff.

BTW check out the video for Sign - it's fecking
bonkers.

I will keep an eye out for that. I just read on Discogs that
he composed it for a fashion show. The guy gets around.

i bought "10th" for some reason and never get much past the
first track which is really really trippy and brilliant...
the rest are like bad remixes of this track.

Listen to track 14, Murmur of the Day, which is straight out
of Frank Zappa territory.
