YosepH is the second studio album by Luke Vibert under his own name, released in 2003 on Warp. It was originally shipped from Warpmart with a sheet of glow-in-the-dark stickers. The album is dedicated to the memories of Peter Walker and Rob Mitchell.
Critical reception
Alex Linhardt of Pitchfork gave YosepA a 7.3 out of 10, commenting that "The album makes a conscious attempt to burrow into the glitzy, wondrous world of classic acid house and the infamously resonant and bouncy modulations of the Roland TB-303, a machine basically responsible for most of the house and electro of the last twenty years."[5] Simon Evans of MusicOMH said, "the album has a decidedly retro feel, something that is enhanced by Vibert's use throughout of analogue-era synths, complete with all their idiosyncratic electronic beeps and burps."[3]
Nick Southall of Stylus Magazine gave YosepH a grade of B−, describing it as "one of the most stupidly danceable albums of the year."[7] Patrick Sisson of PopMatters said, "YosepH shows that Vibert continues to make solid music that is worth nodding your head to."[6]
