Self-described as Soundtrack with lots of words, Yuki Kajiura comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Yuki Kajiura has. It has been four years Yuki Kajiura’ last studio CD, “Aquarian Age” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. I wish that “Aquarian Age” album was instrumental.
Zodiacal Sign hits the heart. Just You actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Yuki Kajiura’s face. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Arayashiki is a song to enjoy for years to come. Deformation is a bit different from Yuki Kajiura stereotypical stuff. Wiz-Dom is perfect. Dimly Crisis - I just love it. Tears is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Conflict For Break. When I listen to Sight-Read in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Newday’s News is another strong production from Yuki Kajiura. Hard Struggle which is my favorite is a truly Yuki Kajiura sounding song. Lyrics of Kyota are precise and evocative. When listening to Sweetest Smile, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. If you are a Yuki Kajiura fan, you will love Fellow Feeling. This is probably my favorite song on the album. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Darklore - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Irritation Silence is a striking and quite long song. Transmigration Of The Age is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Unseen Ties (Everlasting Love) - Seyun - Well, here we get a bit more meaning.
