mwisckol asked: speaking of ikue, can anybody comment on her "100 aspects of the moon"? i'm very curious about it.... to which the pagoon responded: It is a very simple, beautiful album, a lot of heavily melodic tracks and a few jolts of violent agression, with the kind of driving perpetual motion that can simultaneously lull you to sleep and reinvigorate you after a hard day. which kurt thinks: is quite a good description. i'm not quite crazy about it - perhaps it's too beautiful for me, the vocals too soft. if i recall correctly, and odd as this may sound, the first performance of it (before the record was released, probably before it was recorded) had makagami koichi adverstised as the vocalist. but it turned out to be theo bleckmann, who's also on the record. anyways, it's not my fave of hers. kg np: taisuke matsuo - espirada (which i just picked up on a lark, knowing nothing about him, at the wfmu record fair today. anyone got backstory?) _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with the new version of MSN Messenger!
