I never particularly liked Benkai Debussy, until I finally heard it in 96kHz/24bit (via ASIO and all). It's still not my favorite, but I wouldn't rate it as the worst track of the album either.

I like Benkai Debussy. It conjures an image in my brain of a (malfunctioning) mechanical purgatory.

Benkai Debussy is class. It has a fun and insouciant melody, some pretty stush drumming, and it keeps up the Shouso Strippy intensity following the previous two songs. I like it more than its twin: Byoushou Public's chorus is a bit J-poppy in a way I might not be in the mood for.

Fave tracks: 1. Honnou; 2. Identity; 3. Yokushitsu.

This is purely personal, but one thing I love about Honnou is how it just happens to sound like so much 90s pop I grew up with (quite a bit of UK stuff would contain those kind of piano chords, she may have got the idea from someone like Jamiroquai), but she flipped it, evolved beyond it, made something different. It's not as if her UK influences are a big deal for me, but I hear that in it. I think Shouso Strip is still part of the latest generation of music and nothing sounds newer than it.
