So - I had planned to attend this event, but unfortunately shit (a.k.a. life) came inbetween However! I'd prepared this mix for the occasion, with the intention to present it to the organizers: @WhirlingBlackand @Takadanobabaalien Even though a physical "release" came to naught, I think it turned out quite nice ...so I figured I'd just go ahead and publish it here in case somebody's interested. No real theme or anything, just a couple of (IMO) nice tracks Tracklist: 01. DAZZLE - Sleepless Night ('93) 02. NALSIST - Ice Crim of Love ('95) 03. ROSES OF DEAD ESSENCES - Fall ('96) 04. SHAZNA - Clear ('94) 05. DIANA - Shadow ('95) 06. BE FREE - Moon ('96) 07. CAM-FLAGE - Secret Jealousy ('93) 08. DUXLL - Neo-Spychdelic ('95) 09. BANANA FISH - Winter Tales ('93) 10. GLASSTIQUE "BLUE" - sé・ré・nade... ('92) 11. ZELIACORT - I Can't Stop Loving You ('96) 12. SAKRUN - たとえば××× ('94) 13. ZINX - Too Deserted To Speak ~淋しくて声も出ない~ ('93) 14. EX-ANS - Habit Of Sex ('90) 15. LA~BIAL - Caress ('94)

Tracklist: 1. Massive Passive 2. 色彩 (Album Ver.) 3. ハレルヤ 4. End of Refrain 5. Loop 6.たりない 7. さよならワルツ 8. Q and A (Album Ver.) 9. 失う 10. Ego-izm 11. Reset 12. Self | Ambivalence in its purest form siraph may have the soul, but la la larks has the voice, and as long as Yumi Uchimura can sing I feel obligated to sample whatever project she is in. Culture Vulture is the debut album half a decade in the making - la la larks emerged from the ashes of school food punishment in 2012 - and this is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, I've matured enough to appreciate la la larks for what it is instead of what it is not. On the other hand, if an album takes five years to make, I expect a damn good album. la la larks isn't the only band on the block anymore, and competition breeds incentive, so the only expectation I had was that they would give it their all. Listening to Culture Vulture is ambivalence in its purest form. I want to rip la la larks for releasing such little music for the last five years, but I also want to dig into them for having released half of Culture Vulture already. It's two shakes away from falling into the Chinese Democracy category, lacking the feeling of having been toyed with for too long, but already I feel like I've heard this years ago. It is a great album, engineered to perfection, and the experience only intensifies with great audio equipment, but the recipe may as well be printed on the back. I raved about "ego-izm" when it was released as a single, but every other track in that vein feels like an alternate, less effective take. Things get good when la la larks unshackle themselves from their oppressive, self-imposed pop constraints for the tracks such as "loop" or the jazzy ballad "たりない", which have grown to be two of my favorites. It's the biggest indication that there's more to this band than pop songs that would double as juicy anime cash-ins, but they hardly ever show it. Perhaps I haven't changed after all and just want Yumi to throw me a bone. Her voice over dissonant noise and reverb is addictive, and we get close with the deceptive opening of the last track "Self", but close is not enough. Culture Vulture could have taken more risks and been more unpredictable. I'm looking for a figurative wink and nod towards the darker, more contemplative moments similar to sfp's "loop, share", "deviswitch", or even la la larks' "earworm"! It would have done wonders to invigorate my interest. I like it, but I wonder how much of that was engineered and how much of it is my honest opinion. In chasing the goal of creating their perfect pop album, la la larks gives us no indication of how close they are to the apex of their sound. I can clearly hear the talent in every member, but no one does anything that wows me musically. The album never reaches critical mass or picks up a pace faster than a jog, and that turns the tail end of this journey into a slog. When their direct competition made it a point to make a statement with their first release, I'm left disappointed that it took so long to create an album that left such an underwhelming impact. But what did you really expect when you crystallize school food punishment's two eras into two bands and pit them against each other? Support the band! CDJapan | iTunes

Eu tô ouvindo basicamente as bandas que quero tentar ver durante a viagem, basicamente as bandas mais antigas que eu sempre gostei: BUCK-TICK, MERRY, Plastic Tree, etc. Eu e uma amiga vamos tentar ver o ラミエル, então vou tentar pelo menos ouvir um pouco, mas pelas fotos acho que não é muito a minha. E o fato deles copiarem o nome Lamiel é um grande strike contra. Não se pode usar o nome de uma grande banda querida assim.

On 10/20, Madame Edwarda will release a 2-disk compilation "Doppelgänger 1983-1985" containing unreleased, live and alternate takes. Their output during those years was limited to a few appearances on compilations, 2 singles and 1 full length album before they ultimately put the band on hiatus following 1986's Illumine. According to the tracklist from Diskunion, there are 13 unreleased songs from that era which, if they are truly full songs, would be quite alot considering they only released about 20 songs officially on thei aforementioned album/singles/comps. 1. 月蝕狂想曲 ~Lunar Caprice~ (未発表曲) 2. Opéra (live version) 3. Marionette (live version) 4. Arabian Nights (live version) 5. Le SABBAT II (live version) 6. LORELEI (live version) 7. INTRODUCTION (alternate version) 8. Opéra (alternate version) 9. NOSFERATU (alternate version) 10. The Horror CAVE! (alternate version) 11. NOSTALGIE (alternate version) 12. Le SABBAT (alternate version) 13. Trench Coat ~Prologue~ (alternate version) 14. Trench Coat (alternate version) Disc 2 1. LOW (live version) 2. White-Darkness ~Prologue~ (live version) 3. ヒステリックな侯爵夫人 (未発表曲) 4.

Fill夢 ~Introduction of メッキII ~ (live version) 16. メッキII ~Longtemps du Temps~ (live version) 17. LORELEI ~Valse Infinie~ (live version) 18. Unfinished Veil (未発表曲) 19. Haunted Q (未発表曲) 20. Overture (未発表曲) 21. Cirque de la nuit ~夜のサーカス~ (未発表曲) 22. Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard ~賽の一振り~ (未発表曲) 23. Jeux d'artifices ~罠の戯れ~ (未発表曲) 24. HAMLET (未発表曲) 25. メッキ (live version) http://diskunion.net/punk/ct/detail/1007486522 And speaking of 'Illumine', it will be released for the first time on CD on 9/15. http://diskunion.net/punk/ct/detail/1007458331 The version floating around on the web / youtube came from my cassette rip which I've learned years might not have been transferred in the best way possible. So if you're into sound quality, surely the CD comes will sound alot better and hopefully be from the master tapes.

I'm saying though, Die's Cipher worship isn't a secret. The original version doesn't sound too far off from DEG's recent material anyway. They kind of played it safe.

a única coisa de VK que venho ouvindo no último mês é velharia do PIERROT, os singles novos do NoGoD e do Yumeleep e os lançamentos daquela banda VIRGE que parece mó boa. de resto...

This! Also, am I the only one who didn't like The Infamous Omnibus Whore's Melancholic cover? I hope they don't put him on the MUCC tribute album

in the light of that pura cover album, what is your reference point for disgustingly offensive Japanese covers? I'll start with this gem:

Those Crush compilations are another example of covers that were mostly sterile versions of the originals, though Merry's cover of Schwein no Isu was okay. But yeah, I don't expect a cover to be exactly the same as the original, I just want it to sound like the band gave a shit when they recorded it.

Riiight... well I'm not paying for that. The Japanese approach to copyright and marketing will forever be a mystery to me. Was it good at least?

Like the sound of most of that. Really like the AIKAWA cover. Not surprised by the reactions tho... People have a difficult time understanding the concept of a cover album. So he's singing like Ryutaro then...

2017 is the year of shitty tribute albums. MUCC's cover sounds n i c e though. Comforting Sounds 3.0 sounds good too. I don't mind the people in the box one either, but everything else does nothing for me. a crowd of rebellion's one sounds downright awful, Kiyoharu sounds like he was crying while they recorded this, and LM.C should have disbanded like half a decade ago already

Plz come back to us, Queen Suiya!

I've tried this one and it is really good.

I thought he started being a comedian ever since he got X Japan back together? I mean his latest joke "Hero" was pathetically funny

TOGENKYO covers Limited edition Regular edition

Ehm, wow. I'm 99 % sure that is not allowed over here (that doesn't maen that companies don't try, also nearly once happened to a friend of mine.) I'm really sorry this happened to you. Please accept this (slightly awkward) virtual hug! ; )

I'm meeting Yoshiki for a Q&A session on the 19th of October, if there aren't any news by that point on the album I'll just ask him for a release date. My best guess is that he'll immediately cancel the Q&A and have his guards escort me off the premises.

*HELL YEAH!!!!!!!*

Me while on a 9hour shift at work...

The limited edition cover looks alright, though it was cheap of them to use the Times New Yorker font for the album title. The regular edition looks dumb... it actually looks like something I, an absolute amateur, would try to do in Photoshop. They're not album covers, they're DeviantArt projects.

I think I'm going with the ANGEL version. The DEVIL version of the title track sounds disjointed and I'm not digging the b-side on that one. Out of all the songs, I think I like "I depend on you" the most.

Здраво! Како си? I hope you understand anything of what I said, lol. Our languages are very similar! Welcome, I hope you have a great time here on MH!

Love your shirt.

Здравствуйте! Hello there! First of all, I admire your selection of bands, you've got some good ones there. Your English is very good too!

soundcloud rappers need to STOP tryin to appropriate goth girls

Welcome to MH!! I hope you enjoy the forums

sounds completely intentional and i'd love to call myself a Proud Boner

wow this was PERFECT!! love the electronics in both songs and that vocals! 8D

It seems that their first single 『本懐』 will be released at their live on 2017.08.30. (1000 yen)

Found this somewhere. I'm between fuckboy & hole-punch. tag urself.
