... “Dreamers, more often than not, are romantic outsiders defined by their refusal to engage with the material, practical, threatening world. You could argue that was also true of Susumu Yokota in the final years of his life, when he largely removed himself from public appearances and the club/festival scene. The stripping out of beats from his music coincided with a growing interest in music's ethereal, atmospheric, sampladelic experimentalism. 'Dreamer', released three years before his death, keeps its feet in both camps. 'Human Memory' starts the album on the (alternative) dancefloor, but the whole thing – if indeed it was made as a piece, and we'll never know for sure – drifts towards an enchanted place of disembodied meditation. 'Dreamer' is a sanctuary.”...
