流線形 [Ryusenkei] - Tokyo Sniper
76

fun an chil ; what's to expect from city pop .
really nice :)

Patric Catani - Video Game Music
61

just a fun listen, not much else to say :3

i must admit nostalgia may be boosting my score a bit

The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms
82

a veeryy tranquil listen ,
the whole album is one big chill experience :3
it reaches its goal of immersing you into the world that it presents

Goldie - Timeless
84

a classic from goldie . it offers everything that you can expect from one of the top producers of DnB of all time.

definitely on a bit too on the long side ;; Not a problem for me personally, but I can see how it could put off potential listeners once they see that the average track lenght is around 8 minutes . still a good album and a very chill experience // worth the ~2 hours

大貫妙子 [Taeko Ōnuki] - Sunshower
81

i don't listen to city pop often but I feel like Taeko Ohnuki can reel anyone into this album with her beautiful vocals.
great songs all around . worth every minute :D

fav tracks ( not sorted )
summer connection
Nani mo Iranai
Tokai
Law of Nature
Silent Screamer

Spin - Whirlwind
63

it has good instrumentation and it's a fun listen, but there's nothing that really stands out about it . it's a bit more than a 'meh'

Clown Core - Van
55

the clown gimmick is totally unnecessary and fucking boring .
there are a few good songs but other than that it's a completely unmemorable experience.

Hiromasa Suzuki - High-Flying
74

how did I not know that takanaka played a role in the making on this beauty :o

Roni Size & Reprazent - New Forms
85

one of the all time best dnb / jazzstep / whatever the more specific genre is) albums of all time.

Photek - The Hidden Camera
75

the really unique drum patterns make this ep a really interesting listen :)

Casiopea - カシオペア [Casiopea]
87

this album makes me want to drunk drive through a school zone

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
98

only gripe I had with this album was the discontinuity from Mercy Mercy Me to Right On, but now I just accept that they are BANGERS anyways and every fucking song in this album is beautiful.

LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
82

it's really hard to find a DnB album that is good from end to end, because of how the genre ; especially in the jungle side of things ; is focused most on the time on strong singles that can be mixed well into other tracks,, but the same can't be said for this LTJ Bukem album.
Also I must praise how well the vocals are integrated in the few tracks that have them , they feel very well-woven into the instrumentals.

No misses, all around great tracks :D

favs:
Journey Inwards

MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS - kirametal
70

really fast paced and catchy tracks, sadly this fun is really short lived because of there only being 3 songs in the project :(

Guthrie Govan - Erotic Cakes
86

one of the best albums where the guitar is the focus, for me personally it's up there with other virtuosos such as Takanaka :)
What's also great is that even though the guitar(s) shine so vividly, Govan didn't even slightly cheap out with the other backing instrumental aspects of the album : it has great bass, drums, and background guitars.

高中正義 [Masayoshi Takanaka] - SEYCHELLES
92

just very fun to listen to in general :)

Christian Death - Only Theatre of Pain
90

Only Theatre of Pain is the pioneer of the american goth scene's deathrock music genre. Rozz Williams has great vocals, and their absence really stands out in the band's future albums.
The continuity throughout the tracks gives the album a flow that makes it feel like a complete and well-connected experience.

4hero - Two Pages
90

one of the best DnB/nu-jazz (etc.) albums ever. The drums are out of this world, only thing taking it away from being an 100 are the randomly sprinkled in tracks that ruin the pace in an otherwise beautiful album
