I second that
And DUDE, your panoramic description of how you feel music was fucking poetic!
But in my case musical ecstasy is when a song makes me feel as if I'm looking through the windows of a car that is entering into a big city at night in the rain, and I can see the skyscrapers far in the distance, until the car finally reaches downtown and I can see everything up close... OR when a song makes me feel as if I'm floating on a blue pool laying on top of a giant inflatable donut under the sun, and I bend my back and my head so my scalp can touch the cold water.

This is really all turning the same wheel though, and isn’t going anywhere new.

I’d argue that Sandokushi is proof that Ringo still has the old ambition and artistic flair within her, even if she’s not quite sure what she has to say.

Exactly what I wonder!!! If the tracks she did for Sayuri Ishikawa e Megumi Hayashibara were in this album instead they would have made the album so much better! So she is definitely still capable of great things, why is she treating her own career like that? Maybe she is really unsure of what she has to say, that's why this trilogy seems like afterthoughts or unfinished ideas
btw, in Brazil we had a singer who wanted to be the Brazilian Kate Bush
