All this time I thought he was saying "LET'S get a BASSIS"

Was there an individual credits chart for Sukekiyo songs? You know, the "this one's Takumi's, this one 's Uta's, etc.". Was Kyo ever credited for any Sukekiyo song?

 

I find really weird that someone who admit he couldn't play any instrument can be credited with songwriting (of course, he writes the melody lines as well as the lyrics, but I'm talking more specifically about instrumentation). I don't know about Sukekiyo, but Kyo said he wrote songs before by humming stuff to the instruments guys with DeG which seems plausible for relatively simple stuff like "TDFF" or "S" but it's rather hard to believe for something like "Dreambox" which is so intrincate and layered. Unless it's a kind of "who gets the first idea gets the final credit", which seems rather odd for me. Maybe he is messing around with samplers and programming stuff? I think it's actually possible for someone without any musical training to come up with a beat or something (you don't even need to be that theory savvy since there's a lot of things you can get by randomizing parameters and stuff on a DAW).

 

Of course he might have learned a few things since stating his inability to play instruments, but considering it was just an improvisation thingy he might just picked the bass to make some noise with it and that's it. I know the point of those instrumental sessions is to create ambience rather than display any flashy musicianship so it kinda makes sense. His sampler messing and theremin playing work in that way too imo

Where did you find the info about Dreambox? Would love to see the individual credits on DSS if possible.

Practically the entirety of sukekiyo’s catalog is prog

Sorry I was meant to say proggier, I quite enjoy these 4/5min songs that still manage to be quite a journey. Just very curious to hear what Sukekiyo would do with a 7-10 min track.

Had a couple of half-listens, being at work. For the most part I'm enjoying it, tracks 7, 12, and 13 are really interesting. I actually love 'dorothy' suprisingly, haha! Would've really liked to see them tackle a prog song (how would Sukekiyo's Vinushka/Diabolos sound?).

CD 2 I haven't gotten to, but I'm honestly just not interested in Kyo-and-friends karaoke. Some demos, b-sides (Rongai na Ikimono Toshite is possibly better than everything on this album, apart from being demo quality) and maybe some scoustic versions!? Tada Mada with an acoustic guitar, piano, light percussion and acoustic bass anyone? With Kyo rerecorded specifically for the track (no Diru 'unplugged' versions haha).

Any reason why you didn’t order directly from Galaxy Broad? Didn’t CDJapan slap a proxy fee on top of the order?

I regularly use CDJ so I had a lot of points to cash in

Did you order the standard edition? Or the "special" version which is about 29347690270.846534676 yen? As the standard version doesn't come out until the end of next month. I've got a pre-order for it on CDJapan and of course, wont expect it until after then.... lol.

Let's just say I'm 29347690270.846534676 yen down...

Anyone else go through CDJapan? They still haven't sent my copy out, how long did it take to get to you?

Howdy folks - does anyone know where the first places to hear the album will be? Got my hard copy on pre-order, but want to listen ASAS!

@jerk I live in Australia have used CD Japan a handful of times. Takes between a week and a month to reach me.

If you go onto their website it's the featured video that comes up automatically. They haven't made a 'news' update so I figured they accidentally uploaded it early.

Hey I noticed someone posted the individual writer credits for TIW. Where can I find them for other albums (eould love to see them for Uroboros, DSS, and Arche).

Enjoying TIW so far, though after four years and following up the last three albums, it's quite underwhelming. Feel like they didn't expand enough on songs and ideas.
