Yokota wrote and produced both albums during 1997, aiming to reflect on the broad culture of dance music in Japan from the early to mid-nineties.

Across Greenpeace he drew on deep house, street soul, jungle, and d’n’b, while Fruits of the Room saw him working with loops, breaks, and psychedelic downbeat.

The reissues come as Yokota’s Symbol album also returned to vinyl, via Lo Recordings in April.
