A mesmerising album of Yokota’s earliest sonic explorations that demonstrates his unique vision and sublime transcendence of boundaries.

»Image 1983–1998« is a collection of short miniatures, composed in two different time periods. Tracks 1–5 were recorded with guitar and organ between 1983–85 and tracks 6–12 were composed through 1997–98, being inspired by the earlier material.

A musical scrapbook, or sonic design board. The sleeve notes give an insight into Yokota’s belief in a close connection between music, memory, and his active imagination: »Encountering Acid House made me visualise music – I could clearly see the sounds sparkling… this experience led me to create electronic music.«
