Off topic: Just noticed that I broke 60k views on the blog, impressive

“Kerguelen Vortex” by Aural Vampire
Found this band earlier in the week (with the release of their new EP above) and darkwave FTW! Yup, that is all.
…. Now to go through their earlier discography and hear if they sounded just as awesome back then

Another dry spell on here, I’ve been preoccupied with much greater things in life but still alive on the Internet!
Anime has taken the back burner as of late but I have been finishing up a few series that had a one or two episodes left but mainly gaming and music are at the forefront these days!

I was meant to post this much earlier (in fact, two days after watching this!) but completely forgot as life, gaming, new relationships, work and me generally being lazy took precedence
Anyway …. I was waiting to see this on the big screen since it was announced 2 years ago (and 4 years since Shinkai’s last major piece of work) and that day happened to come on the 18th of last month
Asuna lost her father and lives a lonely life listening to mysterious music coming from her father’s crystal radio. One day she sets out for a journey to see a boy again. Through the adventure, she experiences a parting and finds the cruelty and the beauty of the world.
So off I went to the all too familiar BFI Southbank in London (with my sister in tow) to watch new Shinkai goodness, as part of their British film festival ….

“Kamome (Strings Version)” by 9mm Parabellum Bullet
New release by the band in the form of an EP! Got it a few days back ….
The 56-minute track of their live “Movement” tour is kick-ass but the EP truly shines with the strings version of “Kamome”; I loved the original on their recent “Movement” album but this version flows so much better with the string arrangements, complementing the rhythm guitar/bass and Sugawara’s vocals.
Also enjoyed the choreography performed by the dancer in the PV. In particular, how the projected seagull transformation unfolded on the large wall behind her; looked awesome in motion.
It has been the track of the week!
