-this album is uber-expensive for such an obscure band. Their last album was released in 2005, but I like their sound.
2011/03/30 - 秘??感 - 秘??感
-The fact that Suga Dairo is involved is enough to make me wanna hear this...
2011/04/06 - maki mannami×Jacob Koller - untitled
- Been a fan of Maki Mannami since I bought her first album in 2007 almost blindly. Given her experimental tendencies, this should be an interesting collaboration.
2011/04/13 - Merpeoples - メトロ??リス
-I never made a best of 2010 list, but this would have been on it. There's something irresistibly charming about these girls. Can't wait.
2011/03/16 - NAOITO - 379days
-NAOITO had another one of my top releases from 2010. I doubt this one will show up online, so I'll probably just buy it. Judging from the samples, it'll be well worth it.
2011/04/13 - the cabs - 一番????????出??事
-If this album is anything like the track they had on that zankyo comp, then it should be pretty awesome.
2011/05/11 - Monday Michiru - Don't Disturb This Groove
-I have some slight issues with Monday's voice at times, but the woman consistently puts out quality acid/nu-jazz material.
2011/05/18 - カコイミク - RAFT
-YESSSSSSSSS. Love this woman. I just hope she works with some producers that can realize her sound.
2011 looks set to be a wonderful year!
