nick (takenobu) ogawa's Introduction

i really love this album. my gf got me into him. i owe her big time :)

Two Dancers-Wild Beasts.LOVE the vocals on it.

1.Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus

"Essentially, the record finds Phoenix doing what they do supremely well – danceable indie-pop with touches of shoegaze guitar and ambient electro."

see "1901" and "Lasso"


2.The xx - xx

As it is, with all their knobs set to downbeat, there's something restrained and knowing here that will trouble some newcomers.

see "Crystalized" and "Islands"


3.The Big Pink - A Brief History of Love

"A Brief History of Love is a dazzlingly good debut, carefully mixing guitars and electronics in densely layered and carefully textured songs."

see "Velvet"

Just so perfect

Tigermilk-Belle & Sebastian

this album deserves it's own obnoxiously large pic
1991, the 'brownest' album ever put to four track by Ween or anybody else. 'The Pod' referred to Dean & Gene's claustrophobic apartment recording space (i believe it would have been smalltown Maine), and no doubt the Pod was a gateway into that parallel plain of reality in which such strangeness roams free, and albums like the Pod are hailed as classics in place of some sh*t U2 album. Religious music. 'Drg' music, then. SAMPELLES
