This isn't a jag, this is a recommendation from one Susumu Yokota fan to another (and by another I mean all y'all). Check out the newly released A Thousand Paper Cranes by Pentatonik, it's better than anything Susumu has done since 2005.

Well, compared to the rest I think The Frankfurt-Tokyo Connection is the most underrated of all :). Panicwaves is just such a classic!
