Susumu Yokota - Sakura

Label: Leaf
Released: 2000
Style: Downtempo, Ambient

"An album in the classic sense, 'Sakura' is a 50 minute ever-so delicate slow build to a gentle crescendo, weaving tendrils of melody through spiralling loops and heartbeats to complete a watercoloured study in the vagaries of the human spirit. It highlights Yokota's remarkable ability for imbuing ambient sounds with eccentric personality and enveloping warmth and depth. 'Sakura' features the original version of 'Naminote' that made its way onto the deep house 'Mix' EP (DOCK 23)." - PostEverything
