For a truly mighty record with a vaguely similar vibe check out "Sakura" by Susumu Yokota on Leaf / Skintone records. Sakura means flower in Japanese, by the way, and it is a truly lovely record. A bit more busy and beaty than SAWII but a similar kind of "disconnected" kind of feel to parts of it (but without the trapped under ice freaky bits..) Anyone else a fan of this guy or this record?? |
||||||||

dunno who da guy is.....but sounds interesting. i'm a fan of DJ Krush and R. Sakamoto.....=0) i'll look for somethang on slsk! thanks for the tip |

+A bit more busy and beaty than SAWII but a similar kind of "disconnected" kind of feel + sounds promising because that's exactly what SAWII lacks.. |

I just listening to it now.. first track "saku" is so beautiful I think I am going to wet myself.... |

yokota is a fucking genius! grinning cat, sakura, magic thread...awesome stuff. you ever hear of tujiko noriko? her new album is absolutely amazing!!! she's kinda like a japanese björk! |
||||||||

*hands you an adult diaper* hey no DISSING SAWII flea (remember i have EXTRA pies ovah here) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shut up flea! Agreed. And look up the album "Grinning Cat" as well... :) |
||||||||
|

I havent heard of Tujiko Noriko - but if it sounds like Bjork I might try and give it a miss... Has nobody else noticed Bjork has been making the same record since 1994... Not to get off topic though. Another Japanese recomendation - more Jazzy and housey though - Chari Chari. |

he's my favourite musician sakura is my favourite album and kodomotachi is my favourite track the boy and the tree album is brilliant as well, it just took me a little longer to get into it i never listened to house before, but i like yokotas house albums as well :) what is great about him is that he is releasing lots of records (unlike some other artists hehe) and they're all brilliant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I think kodomotachi is my favourite track as well - it means "children" in Japanese, by the way (maybe you already know that, since the sample goes: sons to aging aging children comes sons to aging What the feck does that mean? |
||||||||
|

Indeed, Yokota rokkz yer azz! ^_^ |

I have this album too. Very good, although when I first listened i didnt like it too much, didnt feel like it flowed too well from start to finish, but it grew on me and I like it now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

DJ Krush is excellent, especially his Ki-Oku album with Toshinori Kondo. This album sounds interesting, although the "trapped under ice freaky bits" were integral to SAW2's vibe. |
||||||||

|
|
hey, thanks i had no idea what that sample says, but i love the sound of it :) want to hear him live some time soon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Hey Zaphod, I wasnt criticising the freaky bits of SAWii ( I love it ) just meant that that isnt really a record to listen to every day, it is something specific for a specific mood, wheras "sakura" is something you can listen to and appreciate its beauty on whatever level you feel like without having to really get too much into it if you dont want to... do you know what i mean? Check that record out, though, really. |

tokyo-do you know lim giong who made music for millenium mambo (Hou Hsiao-hsien) at first i thought it was made by yokota-very simmilar to a song from sakura anyway its a brilliant soundtrack, pretty hard to get tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dont know that record , tolstoyed, but that name is Chinese I think... What label is that on -do you know? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, he's chinese or taiwanese i dont have the record yet-its on its way tho, i had to order it from new york if i remember right it was released on milan or milano records (something alike) anyway that film is just brilliant-visually and the music is beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohh, and there was another guy producing this album-he is japanese i think-yoshihiro hanno-he does great music as well, also alike yokota (i think its a bit more "experimental") |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds cool - dont know the film but more detail on the record when you have it please.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely, hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What does boy and the tree sound like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i'd say its more "organic"(im not sure its the right expression hehe) it doesnt sound as electronic as sakura or grinning cat, much more traditional japanese sounds-instruments i'd say it sounded a little confusing when i first heard it, but now im totally into it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
