This mystical world is a summation of Yokota's journey so far, a complex and at times challenging work but immeasurably rewarding. Beguiling and bewitching in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver fifteen undulating sonic fugue states, he guides listeners round a liminal world, made up of familiar materials but formed in a way defying all laws of perspective and physics. Background murmurings give way to almost uncomfortably foregrounded chattering, and one perceived soundstage segues into another impossible tableau of sonic apparitions, some recognisable in form, but all boldly decontextualised and arranged in expertly cluttered amalgams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaputa's obscurity was a prime reason Lo Recordings decided on the Skintone retrospective. Falling as it did between The Boy and the Tree on The Leaf Label and our own debut of Symbol. It was something of an audio crime that the album had never been properly explored and discovered. Lo Recordings hope Laputa can now ascend to its rightful place... hovering above us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRising Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGong Gong Gong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIconic Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight of the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23 Degrees Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrip Eden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDragon Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am Flying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDizzy Echo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart by Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyper on Hyper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susumu Yokota","offers":[{"title":"2LP \/ Beige","offer_id":45808843391167,"sku":"LO257-BG","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/5057805952244_974x_27b7d6b8-62dc-4b68-ab98-c84da528bafe.jpg?v=1783072042","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/susumu-yokota-laputa-skintone-edition-2lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
