New Jihen album: Dai Hakken [2011.06.29]

[deadgrandma]

This album so far sounds like to Sports what Reload is to Load or Amnesiac is to Kid A. Wouldn't surpise me if these songs have been sitting around for a while- they are so soon and so similar, like they wrote a shit load of songs around the time of Sports and aren't saying anything :-p

They recorded a bunch of songs for Sports that did not make the album.

I'm much more excite to the live versions than the album itself. I love that they're always doing something, always working and recreating theirselves musically. Always making a new discovery (cliched, I know, but I really think so) in their ways of doing music.

I really wish tengoku received a rock n roll version. (the version used on the dorama that ChickShhh posted earlier, is pretty much a samba, and my brazilian blood started to boil when I heard. I think it's awesome that Shiina still flerts with brazilian music)

Now all I want is that 29/06 comes fast, and so live versions!!!

I appreciate how generous they've been in promoting Disc 2 of Sports.

Five songs is alot of material to offer for free public listening. No point in buying the single though unless they're alternate cuts of the album version

...Unless you're in Japan, then you buy the single to see if you won first dibs on concert tickets.

Only reason I can think of to get the single.

I got a free poster with the single, so there's that. Plus I'm gonna get in on that ticket action. Plus it's only a thousand yen, and the production of the actual physical thing is quite lovely, fancier than I expected.

Oh, and there's a logo on the CD that makes it look like the album title ties into the mystery/detective genre of Television. So it's probably that. That's why I'm posting here rather than the single thread, sorry!

Which EMF-ers are going? =P
