A powerful testament to rave culture’s establishment and the birth of a new scene in Japan emerging in the mid ‘90s. One of Yokota’s most celebrated work that merges Japanese new age and minimal techno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlex From Tokyo Prat\u003cbr\u003e\n(Japan Vibrations, world famous, Paris)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn July 26th Susumu Yokota’s venerated 1994 classic ‘Acid Mt. Fuji’ is reissued in expanded, deluxe fashion, as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the label that originally presented it. Japan’s Musicmine – specifically it’s electronic subsidiary Sublime – released the album on June 29th 1994, simultaneously with Ken Ishii’s ‘Reference To Difference’, as their inaugural joint offering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘Acid Mt. Fuji’ is an enchanting mix of mystical ambient acid and futurist minimal techno, taking the listeners on a psychedelic pilgrimage, where 303, synths and electronic percussion are scented with reverb, echo and forest recordings. Merging Japanese new age and sparse electronica, the recording is free, organic, and energized – proffering a unique blend of early 90s western styles and the essence of his home country. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYokota originally planned an ambient record, but ‘Acid Mt. Fuji’ evolved into a concept work featuring the Roland TB-303, which he recorded live at home alongside a sampler, yielding experimental and innovative results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe long player found its muse in the famed 18th-19th century artist Hokusai’s red rendition of Mt. Fuji, known as ‘Red Fuji’ or ‘Akafuji’. Part of the painter’s renowned ‘Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji’ series from the 1830s, ‘Red Fuji’ depicts the iconic sacred mountain aglow in red at dawn, symbolizing spirituality and creativity. With references to Japanese folklore, nature and shrines, tracks like ‘Kinoko’ and ‘Meijijingu’ invite the listener to immerse themselves in the album’s spiritual depths. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYokota’s own homage-to-Hokusai drawing graces the record’s cover, and was inspired by the concept of wa (harmony) – highlighting his diverse skills not only as a musician, but an artist and designer too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘Acid Mt. Fuji’ is a powerful testament to the establishment of rave culture in Japan, which rapidly developed within just two years, from 1992 to 1994. Largely due to praise for the breathtaking originality of the LP, within this burgeoning national techno scene, Yokota rose to prominence as one of its key figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe then became one of the most renowned artists to emerge from his homeland and enter the global electronic pantheon. He inspired a new wave of Japanese producers and DJs, contributing significantly to the growth of the techno movement in Japan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYokota was a solitary figure, an artist who expressed his life through the continuous creation of music. For those seeking something different; mystical, soothing, pristinely ergonomic and uniquely Japanese, this record stands as iconic as Mt. Fuji itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"爛調唱片","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52300777062581,"sku":"28654264739.0","price":830.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/3600\/1461\/files\/tw-11134207-7r98s-lx74pnhzhfzk32.jpg?v=1772503119"},{"product_id":"24682386315","title":"【日版CD】Susumu Yokota《symbol》横田進","description":"\u003cp\u003e孤高の電子音楽家、横田進が追い求めた美の世界後期代表作『symbol』新リマスタリングリイシュー!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eかつてピッチフォークから、日本人はなぜレディオヘッドを評価してススム・ヨコタを評価しないのかと言われたように、海外ではロンドンで回顧展が開催されるほどに評価されている横田進。彼の短い人生のなかで作られた、美しい電子音楽の傑作がここにリイシューされる。通算30枚目のアルバム、彼のレーベル〈Skintone〉からは8枚目となる『symbol』は、2004年10月27日にリリースされている。「象徴主義ということを意識して作った」と当時の取材で彼は答えているが、ここには彼の美学が集約されていると言えるだろう。「思えば、僕がやってきたことは象徴主義的だった。精霊であったり、天使であったり、魂であったり、そういうものはつねの自分のなかのテーマとしてあった」、横田は当時こう語っている。クラシック音楽の断片をカットアップしながら、彼が追い求める美を描写した問題作──リマスタリングされて、いよいよその魅力が世界に放たれる!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"爛調唱片","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52300800655541,"sku":"24682386315.0","price":780.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/3600\/1461\/files\/tw-11134207-7r98x-lwo0nnndjjg01c.jpg?v=1772503706"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rottenblues.com\/collections\/susumu-yokota.oembed","provider":"爛調唱片","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
