Why it's here
Japanese ambient built from folk loops; disarming and slightly haunted
Sakura is Japanese ambient built from folk loops, disarming and slightly haunted, Susumu Yokota constructing something gentle and strange from traditional samples. It's a quietly beautiful record, warm and melancholy at once, and it stands as one of the loveliest things in this stretch of the list.
