Startlingly good and fresh, with a collision of sounds, styles, and vibes that only the Japanese seem to be able to pull off with a complete lack of irony, encompassing everything good about a lot of genres, while leaving out everything that’s bad. Unfortunately we missed out on Volume 1, but there’s a CD coming which includes the tracks from Volume 1, as well as a digi-version, for those who do that as well.
