Susumu Yokota has just released a new CD titled "Symbol."
What are your thoughts on his new CD? I loved "The Boy and the Tree" and "Sakura", but some of his other releases aren't so special. This one is a definate grower, and it's much like his other ambient works.

I don't really like ambience music and generally think there are better artists out there, but I do admire his ecclectic offerings.

I have to admit I do like his earlier works but this is now his 25th album and I can’t really see his music moving in any sort of new direction now. Ambience is a genre where it is difficult to produce a vast number of albums and retain the public’s interest and for doing this alone one has to give Susumu Yokota praise. I'm not expecting this album particularly eagarly from the samples I've heard though. Perhaps I just prefer dark ambience from the likes of Michael Stearns more because of the way it is trance-enducing if you're in the right frame of mind. ‘The Storm’ album (especially his track 'The gathering') totally blew me away [pun intended]

Now can someone who actually likes Susumu Yomota and isn't copying things off google discuss his works with me?

Err, who as copying stuff? Xeron? Search for what I posted then if you think that. I do know Yokota [perhaps better than you if you take the significance of your typo CS2x] and am well acquainted with Michael Stearns as well.

and people think it's an "obbsession", walnut look at the post above and you'll agree with me that this XLT tramp deserves all the insults I throw at him.
No more un-related posts please.
