hehe, ok here we go sakura is definitely his best (best album ever for me), then; if you prefer electronic sounds you could go with grinning cat and if you prefer organic sounds try out the boy and the tree but you cant go wrong with any of these: -sakura -grinning cat -the boy and the tree -image 1983-1998 -magic thread enjoy :) |

good question! ; ) I thought, if you search for susumu yokota, you'd find me.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

here are some comments on sakura, when it was released pick of the month one of the albums of the year the most well-chilled album of the year pretty much flawless powerfully emotional...bears comparison with eno's finest 70s recordings |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey tolstoyed, are these... -sakura -grinning cat -the boy and the tree -image 1983-1998 -magic thread All his releases that you've got? Because i'm looking at the site of Rare Records (dutch music-store) and it says something about a "Mix Ep"? But maybe you already have that one too :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
havent got it i'll get it :) thanks i have 1999 and zero apart from those aswell btw-these two are his house releases tho |
||||||||

|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
supreme tell me other thing you have that I can search for or look I am najma you can look for aphex or gescom and maybe you find me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh, here are some comments on that mix ep: "four tracks of deep, organic, moving house music, with more musical nous than most house producers even know exists" "simply stunning.you cant really go wrong with this one" "where deep house often spirals into a black hole of its own making, this succeeds by being implicitly warm to the touch" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok... These are some artists you can search for: lexaunculpt barbara morgenstern alec empire global goon lemon jelly schneider tm sabres of paradise I tried to look for you but nothing... I have to go now, but I'll leave kazaa open. good luck! |

Here's what rare records says about it: Susume yokota's reputation in europe is growing fast, with media acclaim for his two downtempo leaf releases to date ('image 1983-1998' and 'magic thread') and his most recent albums for japanese house/techno label sublime ('1998' and '1999'). The 'mix' ep succesfully brings together boths strands of his work, with satisfyingly warm deep house mixes of his own acoustic, more ambient tracks. taken from an album of remixes of tracks originally released on his own skintone label in japan in 1999 (also entitled 'mix'), these tracks sound like a return to the roots of house music, leaving the idiosyncratic glitches and mistakes in place to give a more human feel. the originals of three of these tracks ('nisemono no uta', 'morino gadudan' and 'enogu') appeared on yokota's first leaf release, 'image 1983-1998', while the forth, 'naminote', is taken from his third skintone/leaf album 'sakura'. Tracklisting: A1. naminote/rhythm mix A2. morino Gakudan/remix B1. enogu/remix B2. Nisemono No Uta/Remix |

||||||||

|

|

"...its growing up on this mb for sure :)" Yes, i wonder why... it's almost as if "someone" keeps mentioning him in lots of threads... ;-) |

Sakura, Grinning Cat, Image 1983-1998, Magic Thread and 1998 are all good. Only listened to The Boy And The Tree once and didn't really like it. Will give it another go soon though as I'm often way out on a first listen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, i wont get that mix ep after all apperantly it is only available on vinyl (i dont like these) :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i wasnt that fond of the boy and the tree neither when i heard it for the first time, but now it is very close to sakura in my book |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have got a really old album by him under the name of yokota on harthouse from 94 ish. its well good, has anyone else here got it??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh that's bad :-/ I don't like vinyl either... i can't stand the thought that the music gets more hiss and static everytime i listen to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but apperantly cd was released so now im trying to find it on some japanese online music store |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh okay :-) Good news! Hope you'll be able to find it! (and that your japanese is good enough to understand those sites ;-)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, i cant understand a thing im just watching pictures hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

You were right :-) Sakura wasn't hard to find. I bought the cd today! In it was a little leaflet (pun not intended) for leaf records... It says about the Mix Ep: 9 track (!?!?) Japanese import CD available by mail order only. "Simply stunning, you can't go wrong with this one!" blues & soul "Four tracks (!?!? eh... i is confused about the number of tracks now) of deep, organic, moving house music, with more musical nous than most house producers even know exists" 8/10 Wax "Where deep house often spirals into a black hole of its own making, this succeeds by being implicitly warm to the touch" NME "Hopefully this EP will introduce DJs and clubbers alike to Yokota's soulful innovations" 4/5 DJ Maybe you can order it directly from leaf records?? According to the leaflet: leaf@posteverything.com The Leaf Label Suite 219 Bon Marché Building 241 Ferndale Road London SW9 8BJ, UK Hope that helps :-) But maybe you already found it on the japanese sites. I haven't listened to Sakura yet... will post about it when i have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh, thanks for all the info perhaps it would be best if i try and contact leaf by email about this mix ep, because it says on their site that it was deleted!? i hope you're going to like sakura, hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm... so i see. I hadn't looked at the site myself yet when i posted that. Well good luck! Deleted sounds rather definitive... but who knows. Maybe they still have some spare copies lying around the office ;-) Sakura is already lying next to me on the desk... i'm going to listen to it next, when the currently playing cd is finished :-) i'm sure it'll be good though. I had already heard all those amazon-samples. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe... he seems to have kept all the best tracks for last? I have to leave the computer in 5 minutes, so i'll write quickly what i think about the album so far. The first tracks were all beautiful ambient music... nothing really special yet (i think they will probably grow on me as i listen to the album more). But then came kodomotachi, which almost gave me orgasm listening to it :-o What an incredibly beautiful track!! The next one sounded very jazzy :-) like my "Kind of Blue" cd... very nice! And now i'm at #11... and it is amazing also... I really have to go now, will write more later... but that track #9 alone was well worth the asking price of the entire cd :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, glad you like kodomotachi my favourite tune ever :) rest of it will grow on you, not all most likely-some stuff is really not that great, but i picked sakura to be my favourite album mostly because of KODOMOTACHI haha his latest album the boy and the tree has much more wonderful tracks, there is hardly a track that i dont like, but none of those are nearly as good as kodomotachi |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"hehe, glad you like kodomotachi my favourite tune ever :)" really? :-p I knew you said it was one of the tracks on this album, but i forgot which one. Such a coincidence that i pick out the exact same one :-) (well... not coincidence, it's just an amazing song). "rest of it will grow on you, not all most likely-some stuff is really not that great," lol, and NOW you tell me?! ;-) There is a sticker on the front of my cd, with a couple of quotes from reviews... and one of them is: "pretty much flawless" :-p I still have pretty high hopes all the tracks will grow on me. After all it is ambient music... not everything is supposed to be amazing and grab your attention... i think alot of tunes on ambient-albums are just there for the atmosphere of the entire album... and in that sense they can work really well, even though on their own these tracks might not be so special... (hope that made sense). right now i'm listening to confield... after it is over i will probably go to bed, and listen to Susumu while i fall asleep :-) |

i remember when i got that album right after it was released-i just brought it home, gave it a rapid listen and put it aside. After a while i started to really listen to it so i can say it took quite some time for it to grow on me. then when i got his next album grinning cat i was just shocked of what thiis guy is capable of-it will sound weird but actually grinning cat made me appreciate sakura even more :) my favourite tracks from sakura are 1,2,3,5,6 and 9, but its a beautiful album all together |
