Susumu Yokota received fulsome praise for the 'Image 1983-1998'
album released by The Leaf Label in September 1999. March 2000 sees
the first release outside Japan of the now ridiculously scarce
'Magic Thread' album. The album was actually released in Japan
before 'Image', in a limited edition of just 500 copies on CD - the
very first release on Yokota's own Skintone label.
'Magic Thread' has a more electronic feel than 'Image', but is
still possessed of the plaintive melodies and haunting minimalist
dynamics that made 'Image' such an unexpected treat.
After Ken Ishii, Yokota was the first techno artist to release
music in Europe (1992's Frankfurt-Tokyo Connection on Harthouse).
Since then he has enjoyed a prolific career as both a DJ and
recording artist, working under a host of pseudonyms, including
246, Ringo, Prism, and Stevia. With his star currently very much in
the ascendant in his native Japan and continental Europe, Yokota
has begun to make an impression in the UK with his two most recent
albums on Sublime, '1998' and '1999'.
The vinyl version of 'Magic Thread' is limited to 1000 copies.
