Review:

 

First of all I want to say it is not the kind of music that I used to listen,

this cd contains more experimental freestyle themes, a lot of electronic

guitar samples and vocals. Design and the cover successfully suite to music.

First track is called in Japanese, I don't know what it seems,it fast

accelerate to the end. Next track faster with fat bassline and guitar tunes.

Track 3 - outstanding saxophonic play, guitar and voice in Japanese. New

Asians with oft-recurring voice "new asians". Track 5 is remix on well known

songs - Relax! Don't do it...When you wanna come....... Awfully!! Track 6

cames through waves, sometimes cutting low frequences and a whistle like in

the end of Shpongle DMT. Track 7 All The Angels - the most beautiful songs

which I ever listen since. Cheezy and sweet :-)) Track 8 electrifyed voice

with downtempo tunes. 9 goes with progressive sound. X-Rock rocks me as well.

11 Metallic track like ones in Shiva Space Japan. Nice album, expected from

dj Tsuyoshi. Rate 8/10

"First track is called in Japanese..." ROFL!! "Intro" is a Japanese word now??

I do agree that the cover fits the music though. I mean, this could very

easily be a manga soundtrack CD!! Actually, when I first listened to it, that

was the feeling I had.

anyways... this is no psy... only track that sounds remotrly like psy is E-wire

which has a dark-industrial feeling to it (BPMs around 120, yet harsh sounding

and very hypnotic) me likey very much!! An excelent party-starter IMO. Now for

the rest... well, Image sounds like Chemical Brothers and New Asians sounds

like... Dr. Dre & Snoop Doggy Dogg!!! (I could almost hear "Yeah and you don't

quit/ Cause it's 187 and the undercover cop), or the remake of Cypress Hill (I

ain't going out like that), anyway it sounded pretty cool, reminded me of my

gangsta rap days and I guess this is the first time any psy artist does

anything remotely like rap. The remix from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax d

still others are just plain awfull, so is some clubby-salsa track Let the Wave

Flow. All the Angels is very down-tempo and sweet, reminded me of Massive

Attck, so did The World. You Wanna Tease Me sounds like some experimenta

alternative. X-rock sounds again like some cheezy dance song (female sample

going "I'm hot for you"), but joujouka took care of it so it sounds pretty

interesting in the end. Don't think feel sounds like a Joujouka

reinterpretation of the popular James bond theme!!! All in all very varied

album, which sounds like Joujouka having fun with well-known genres and doing

interesting remixes, albeit not psy at all. 8/10

oops, "The remix from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax d still others are just

plain awfull, so is some clubby-salsa track Let the Wave Flow." was supposed

to read "The remix from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax is just plain

awfull, so is the track Let the Wave Flow" which has a clubby-salsa feeling".
