susumu yokota - sakura

very close to being a perfect album. azukiiro no kaori may
be the most beautiful thing i've heard, ever. i've got magic
thread and a couple other ones by him, and i'm wondering if
laputa is worth buying or not.

get them all mate, get them all.

sakura was my first Sosumu cd after my Pops gave me a tape
he had of sosumu live in Japan - trippy stuff altogether.

Laputa is indeed lame. I was very dissapointed by it...Also,
I recognize loads of the samples he uses, and they're hardly
changed-he just shoved samples from various pieces of music
together.

I love The Boy And The Tree, though...

laputa is not as good as his others perhaps, but good non
the less.

my favourite track is kodomotachi...pretty much a perfect
song.

Hmm.. I found some samples at boomkat.. however, they are
all from Laputa, which most of you seem to agree are not his
best tracks. Does anyone have any other samples? (my opinion
on the laputa tracks.. nothing special. not good, but not
bad)

haha! apparently a very good track, then! It just finished
loading, and I'm 30 seconds into it.. so far it's pretty
good!

Is this representative of the sound of the rest of the album
(as far as I see it's from the Sakura album?)?

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



it's a bit different to other songs, which are all pretty
diverse...yokota is one of best producers for sure.

check search results for kodomotachi...indeed a very popular
song :)

ok. It just finished, and even though I wouldn't call it the
best song ever, it made me want to buy the album. I just
need confirmation that it is on "sakura," then.

hhahaha! I'll try to look past the fact that you're the one
that mentioned the track in all those threads! hahahah!

:) well, it's so good i have to say something when i see a
topic about it :)

and yes, it's from sakura.

then I'll have to write down the name and go to order the
album... hope the record store can take it in... they can
get mostly anything, which is good, 'cause I don't like
ordering over the internet (just ordered a 12" (out of
"charity".. a good friend works with administrating a
webshop, so I had to buy something from it...), which I got
yesterday, and the cover was in bad shape when it arrived,
so...). Is it available on vinyl?

and one from
1998

laputa is good, not as easy to get into as his other albums
but still very good.

I just bought Grinning Cat but it seems a little
dissapointing on first listen, i'll give it a chance to grow
on me but I don't think i'll like it as much as his others.

Boy and the Tree and Sakura are his masterpieces so far i
think.

grinning cat is nice, i think. i actually downloaded laputa
after some of the negativity people have given it here. its
ok, i'm impressed by maybe two tracks, but nothing stands
out about his best works. he's definitely an inconsistent
artist, but still one of my favorites.

Kodomotachi is indeed one of the greatest songs ever made!

nothing stands out above his best works, i meant. sakura is
still his best, with magic thread and boy and tree close
behind. those three have such different feels to them, and i
love how organic magic thread sounds even though the
intrumentation is so weirdly electronic.

yeah, laputa has a few hidden gems...

sakura and boy and the tree are pretty consistent though,
hardly a bad track.

i'm liking 'Cherry Blossom' a lot from Grinning Cat,
listening to the album grinning cat right now, i only bought
it yesterday.

magic thread... is that more minimalist than Grinning Cat?

magic thread is very minimalist, probably moreso than
grinning cat. it sort of sounds like SAW 2 in the way the
instrumentation is really alien yet organic at the same
time. my favorite thing by him behind sakura.

yay im so popular everyone is talking about me!

i didnt hear boy & tree properly, just sounded like a load
of bells chiming and shit to me...

kodomotchi is the track that got me into susumu

has anyone else noticed the samples aphex track 'nannou2'
(last one off drukqs) in his track 'i am flying' on
'laputa'

and a good job he does with it too!
