SUSUMU YOKOTA/ROTHKO

Distant Sounds Of Summer
Lo Recordings
DOWNBEAT

> This collaboration with avant rock pioneers ROTHKO is certainly YOKOTA\'s most accessible album to date. Its mixture of the sublime voice of CAROLINE ROSS with loping beats, resonant bass and wideopen spaces, creates an epic widescreen tour de force that oozes quality and beauty. > Sometimes the deep twanging tones sound like a deep sea RY COODER soundtrack whilst the pure and fragile tones of the voice suggest an elegiac English folk sensibility. > Other times the broken beats and world music ambience collide to form a supernatural kind of funk reminiscent of MADLIB, and yet never is there a sense of disparity or confusion. At all times Yokota\'s masterful production coheres the music into a tangible whole that makes one feel completely enveloped and lost in a wonderful world of sound. > Check the quotes on the cover Q MAG \"Deceptively powerful\" ... NME \"Moments of proper, unearthly beauty\" ... ROCKSOUND \"Probably one of the most intense records possible... totally captivating\" ... IDJ (((( \"Simple beauty. Stunning stuff\" ... SQUIDCO \"A remarkable atmospheric collaboration\" TIME OUT \"So Intense that you\'ll swear you can hear blue one moment, crimson the next\" A COLLABOARTION MADE IN HEAVEN, DELIVERED WITH SHEER GRACE
