yume no manimani

Lately, just looking at the album cover gives me goosebumps. If siinamota were still alive today, an active space for experimental music would have opened up much earlier. After all, I jumped into this scene myself after seeing the possibilities in his music. Following his last album, he achieved a wonderful evolution in terms of both genre and sound. In particular, the instrumental combinations shown in "Memory by stay" go beyond novel and are truly wondrous. "yume no manimani," which is also the title of this album, boasts a remarkably high level of musical perfection. It features free-flowing shifts in mood, lowering tension with somewhat sorrowful, suffocating vocals and glitch elements, then raising it with 8-bit sounds. By utilizing long instrumental passages, he successfully led natural atmosphere transitions between tracks. This strength continues throughout the album. Since many tracks are arranged versions (like "Ta-rat-tat-ta-dat"), it might get a bit tedious, but I recommend listening to it as a full album. Recommended tracks: garakuta no elegy, LOST & FOUND, yume no manimani, Memory by stay, Human, astronote, strobe last (honestly, listening to the whole album works too)
