Cokiyu
Mirror Flake

This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

Cokiyu: "Mirror Flake" (Flau) Is the sort of effortless, organic synthesis of electronic and synthetic textures that makes you wonder what's in the water, or food, in Japan that makes artists like Ueda Takayasu produce such a lush vein of leftfield pop. Utilising software in such a sparse manner, you'll wonder why so many electronic artists get lost in all manner of preset sounds and composition formats and fx. I suppose the key to this collection is the simplicity of approach and execution. It's maybe a little too naive for some ears, too twee for others but just this side of right if you place it alongside the plethora of fanboy electronica trying to be the next Autechre or Aphex, or the some other such pack leaders.
