I heard there's some sort of tribute gig planned for Yokota in London sometime soonish.

The videos embed properly for me.

I'd no idea this had been reissued. Must get it.

just repressed on white vinyl even

Sakura really knocked me over when it came out. Will definitely get this - thanks for the heads up

don’t forget to vote

I have a few of his albums but not heard this one before. It's great, Yokoyama was really something else.

Probably go for 'Kinoko' I think

*Yokota

the sleeve for this really caught my eye, didn't know he did house music before all the "idyllictronica" stuff

thanks for posting this, I've listened to it twice today!

t/s tambarin vs spastik

I will never not listen to an album called "Acid Mt Fuji"

This came out in 94??

yessir

on sublime records no less... quite a bit of ken ishii about it

same year as reference to difference came out on sublime

man I totally forgot that he made music like this

The Grinning Cat was a great album as well, he was so good.

this is excellent, thank you for making this thread

you're welcome, don't forget to comment and vote

Current favourite track is all of them - will vote when I can pick one out!

i first heard this in 2011 and, at the time, found myself wanting to like it more than i did. different expectations or something. because of the reissue news, i listened again a few weekends ago while i was working on my kitchen and it was blowing my mind. really clicking for me more than back when. sublime all over. don't know how to vote yet.

i first heard this record in 1995 at a dance vinyl place in providence r.i., downtown, i can't remember the name of the shop. the guy who ran it i remember as a kind of a proto-burning man type but incredibly knowledgable and friendly and enthusiastic as practically everyone who ran those sorts of shops was then. he gave me all kinds of recommendations. this is the same guy who sold me one of my favorite records of all time (on Sublime!) - the Thorn EP by Low Res with the track "Reflective Blackdebris". which a quick Google shows me there is now a released live version of. i just died.

this is what I'm thinking.

tinny

lol u got that right

lol sorry for the derail but.. i now have listened to the live version of Low Res' "Reflective Blackdebris". and it appears that the original, one of the most special tracks of all time for me, is apparently not called that at all and i'd been reading the label wrong.

maybe not such a derail tho because people into susumu yokota would REALLY like the "look back with knife" collection of rare/unreleased Low Res stuff i think

was it amuck?

"speculative reminiscing"

which my googling has discovered was played out by aphex twin in a set two years ago! so it does please me that the was at least one room full of dancers who heard it at full volume in a really buzzing environment

Just heard this for the first time last week (thanks to this thread) and have listened four times since then. I think I'm voting "Kinoko" but wanna give it at least one more spin before I decide.

Going with Akafuji - seems landscape-appropriate - starts cavernous and ends up monumental.

nice

this is fucking dope

thx vahid

hi 5s all around

hadn't heard this before yesterday
this is a masterpiece

kinoko: proper spooky wildlife techno

wildlife techno! love it

I didn't expect this to be this good. A great find.

(I was just playing it and it segued into World Receiver which was just about goddamn perfect.)

Sakura is peak Yokota for me but I find myself going back to the Water's Edge EP he did with Rothko quite a bit.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

calumerio otm, akafuji for me too

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
