>speaking of P5, i got their latest "international playboy/playgirl" in >tokyo, are they going to release this one in US/Canada? I haven't heard anything about Matador releasing this one. Did you get the version with the fancy packaging? It came with lots of little goodies, like mini paper filmstrips of P5. Hanging by a thread as far as IDM goes, but if you like P5, check out Fantastic Plastic Machine's new album Luxury, out in Japan only I think. It's on P5's Readymade Records. The FPM sound is similar to P5, but I find them a bit more varied, lush, and decadent than P5, if less consistent. Both bands are basically a Shibuya-kei Tokyoite dude having fun with his amazing record collection. The Gentle People serve as vocalists on one track called Honolulu, Calcutta. The album reminds me a bit of Tipsy in parts. Cheers, James Jung-Hoon Seo xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx Red Sky Interactive 921 Front Street San Francisco, CA 94111 (415) 392-2500 x250 http://www.redsky.com
