Every time I listen to them, I think of that description and how perfectly it fits Tamura's vocal style. Especially on the first couple of releases, he usually dances among the tranquil, dreamy, playful and at times chaotic instrumentation like a ghost light just to fade away moments later and reappear in an outburst of shrill, sometimes desperate, sometimes angry energy. It is this particular emotive dynamic, coupled with Tamura’s unique voice which – in my eyes – makes blgtz stand out and shine. What are your opinions on them? Are there any listeners among us?

CAT5 9075 Posted July 24, 2017 The 2011 album is pretty great, but I admit I haven't gone back and listened to the others ones. I should eventually, though. Which release is your favorite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VESSMIER 873 Posted August 1, 2017 I guess I'm pretty much into anything before their 2011 album. For some reason it did not resonate with me the way マイナスの世代による瞬間のドキュメント or the releases before that did. It certainly felt more polished than anything else they put out but that was sort of the problem for me. I like blgtz rough and shrieky :] 1 CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
