>I have "Era of Glittering Gas." What else is there?

There are 5 CDs total, but....
_Era of Glittering Gas_ and the associated Single (Eat, Buy, Eat) are the
only two to feature Takemura (and Eye, for that matter).  The remaining
releases (1 CD, 1 Ep, 1 Single) are run by Onda and don't have quite the
same feel.  Still a hip hop sound at times, but moves more towards a jazz-y
feel.  The few raps there are, are now in English.  There is a remix and a
collaboration with Otomo Yoshihide, but the remix is really weak (he throws
some noise in the middle) and the collaboration is ok.  The remaining
releases are ok, but don't expect anything like _Era..._.  They are btw:
_Strange Fruits_, "Ooh I Feel Horny", and "Strange Emotion". 

There is also a 12", "3-6-9", that I think is from the Takemura era, but
I've never been able to track that down...  :(

ForcedExposure carries them at times, they also carry that Child & Magic CD.
