Lime - Semen - Chestnut Blossoms
Just want to get the led out, but it’s not Zeppelin, it’s the pop-fusion sound of Shiina Ringo’s Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana (加爾基 精液 栗ノ花, 2003, lyrics).
I’ve been listening to this album recently, and find it extremely flush and variant in sound. We’re talking circus to the cabaret, roller-rink to the organ house. Musically, the album is mesmerizing, confusing, fluttering… like seeing a burning moth soaring in the sky with a single wing. It’s beautiful, glimmering with a great range of instruments, and dark+bewildering in just the right places.
Though it was released in 2003, I wanted to put a shout out on the album, because it is quite exceptional.
You can listen to the final climax
btw: Souretsu, the last track, would make a fantastic AMV, but I’m going to say I can’t decide on an epic enough anime to truly fulfill it.
