Yeah yeah yeah. One loony fan who, thanks to the internet, goes from being an obscure, incomprehensibly ridiculous whacko aberration to the uninformed's false perception of normal.

Perfume worked their asses off and surprisedly won the ear of their nation.

Do they lose points for not being rare artists like Shiina, in consummate control of everything?

Answer: Yes. They perhaps linger in the sub-basement of acceptable for those that choose to only relish the output of the most multi-talented.

But still hills and dales removed from the astonishingly insubstantial vomit pop that is ultra-efficiently spewed by this nation's music machine and currently atop the pop charts. Unless, of course, you are crossing your fingers for the potential advent of Setagaya-ku 256.

Matryoshka - Slowsnow

^ First thing I thought of was Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain album. Which I adore. I'm gonna check out this artist right now, cheers!

CLT: Tool

Reflection

^ I thought you already knew Matryoshka.

Yes, after downloading I realised I had already listened to it before and forgotten. The album as a whole wasnt as intriguing as I hoped.

[TeslaGuy]

^ The track I chose to feature here was the only one on the album I really liked. Similarly, the tracks that followed today's post were comparatively disappointing (though better than Matryoshka).

charlot - ステラ

[Carlx]

^ Yes, I may have heard that album once or twice at most. But I still find very interesting the texture between the vocals, the violins and especially that sort of double-bass in Sink Into The Sin during the chorus.

Boris with Michio Kurihara - Rafflesia

I always find myself instinctively holding my breath between 2:57-3:00, 3:14-3:18 and especially at 3:47 and so on. It's enormous.
