What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Susumu Yokota is someone who I've always felt I should like but I've always struggled to get into his music. His new album 'Symbol' is by far the most accessible thing he's released so far. It's pretty much just some mild electronics with lots of samples and pieces of classical music interspersed throughout. It's quite immediate as the 1st time I heard this I thought it was a bit special. On repeated listens it's a bit like listening to a clever mix of Hooked on Classics or something. It is very pretty though and if you like neo classical electronic music (ala Sylvain Chauveau or Dead Can Dance) then you'll most definitely want to check this out.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
