The list of collaborators on this album is amazing. Will listen soon..I just hope it sounds as great as it looks on paper. What a list, right!? I can forsee the Chara listening future for I have already put her on my EOTYL and this will not fail me. I will not allow that. : 3 Also, just leaving this here: 'The “secret garden” here is a reference to a woman’s uterus. The secret garden / uterus motif carries over into the album’s cover art as well. It depicts Chara as a statue in a flower garden. Chara says that when she’s in love, she creates beautiful songs.' Last sentence? Hella cute. First few? Not that much. x'D 1 CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretsy 1343 Posted March 7, 2015 Are there any liner notes around? Really curious to know who worked on which tracks! I haven't found them yet but THE NOVEMBERS informed that they played the backup for track 7 (plus they wrote it too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
