Yokota, Susumu / Lo Compilation

Lo Recordings

Originally available only in Japan via Susumu Yokota's own Skintone label, Lo was so knocked out by this unique take on their back catalogue that they decided to give it a worldwide release. Mixed in Yokota's unique free-flowing style and featuring exclusive tracks by Yokota and others, this album is sure to find favor with Yokota and Lo fans alike.  The album's deceptively simple title conceals a devilishly complex and ambitious feat: an absolutely unique trawl through the Lo back catalogue which spans its dizzying breadth to create a delightfully intriguing aural collage.  The first CD features mostly vocal tracks beginning with The Chap's beguiling "Auto Where To," Toob's "Here Enuff" and Yokota's own "Your Shining Darkness." The disc also features tracks from Europa 51, Cursor Miner, Alexandroid, Luke Vibert, King Of Woolworths, Red Snapper, Theodore, Motohiro Nakashima and Rothko.  The second CD focuses on Lo's more uptempo, electronic output starting with a previously unreleased mix of "Lock Don" by Georges Vert. We also get tracks from Four Tet, Jackson, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Mr G, Pier Bucci, and Milky Globe, plus several unreleased tracks from Yokota himself.
