Susumu Yokota – Baroque

Modern Obscure Music out of Barcelona, Spain, is making Baroque available for the first time ever on vinyl.  This disc was one of them many treasures the late Japanese composer Susumu Yokota released before his passing in 2015 at the age of 54.  The album presents some of the most listenable and engaging techno I’ve ever heard, making warmth out of electronic processing.  Though it’s sad to know he is no more, it’s wonderful to know that labels like Modern Obscure Music are doing their part to make sure Yokota’s work is never forgotten.
