I love YaBB 1 Gold!
Anyway, hirasawa's last two solo ablums (I don't listen to his P-model stuff) weren't very good.
Solar Ray, his "recycling album", was aptly named. It sounded as if I had taken a sampler CD containing some of his better songs, crumpled it up (you know, as if I were going to toss it into a recylcing bin), and then placed it into my CD player. Hearing the techno dance remix of forces was bad enough, but many of the other songs were completetly identical to their older counterparts, but with bizarre screeching/wailing/electronic noises dubbed over them. The first time I heard it I thought someone had meticulously crafted the first cybernetic cat, and then proceeded to put it in a blender.
The next album I think he did was Millienium Actress (sennen jyou)? I have no clue what it translates to honestly. Anyway, this one wasn't bad, but it was all bgm type stuff - no lyrics, very mild and ambient, And it sounded like mostly remixes of some of his older stuff. I think it was the soundtrack to an anime or something.
Anyway, he released a new album just recently "Blue Limbo". He's offering one full track on his website (ride the blue limbo), which isn't that great, but also one sample track (hoshi-shiru-mp3 version). The full version of the latter you have to "buy" on his site.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm just not willing to pay for an mp3. So I figured I'd crack open edonkey, the only p2p thingy I really have used in the last couple years, and do a search. I came up with nothing. Actually, I only found 14 matches for him total. Most were just differently named versions of forces.
I remember back when napster was around, literally all his stuff was on it. I got pretty much all of his solo stuff. They even had the mp3 version of Philosapher's propeller (I wasn't able to get all of those before napster went dead though). So, What happened all those people sharing his stuff? Are there any Japanese P2p proggies?
