blink-182 - Buddha
87
This is a nice set of simple pop-punk tracks. Not much stands out here, but what is presented is entertaining and well-crafted enough to make me bang my head along. Compared to what was to come, these tracks feel childish, but there's a beauty in that which I can enjoy. Carousel's arrangement and mix on this song is my preferred version, which is nice. The only track I dislike here is Strings, which can be enjoyable in a mindless way sometimes.
Coileight - early, unreleased. and forgotten

Some nice alt mixes and unreleased stuff. While not very particular or anything, having more material is always nice. It wouldn't be reasonable to rave about this one, but this is one instance where more certainly is better.

Merzbow - Double Beat Sequencer Vol.1

Yabujin - FLASH DESIRE
98
Wow. This is one of the most ethereal and disassociated projects I have ever heard. Playing with strange and alien mixing on cloud beats that stay in your head for a LONG time. Although it sounds compressed and loose, it shows off a certain beautiful sound that could only exist in a digital internet world. Everything here is so faded and tranquil, especially with the angelic sound of the vocals over the dreamy instrumentals. This whole project sounds like winter nights.
