Album Notes

It’s all about… feeling good

Thank you for choosing "Yanagigaura" to offer yourself a moment of sensual relaxation. You are an adventurous music lover, that's why you landed on our page. You are at the right place. Welcome to Yanagigaura.

There’s some magic in the island of Kyûshû, Japan. Something in the air that offers you that unique feeling of being complete, a part of the nature. You feel you body and your mind like never before. Something magic, therefore rather mysterious and beyond explanation.
This is pure sensuality.


It’s all about… this single

Congratulations! You are now owner of “Yanagigaura”. You may want to know a little bit more about the music that now belongs to you. Here we go:

The ‘satin caress of the Neko mix’ of “Yanagigaura” departs from the lo-fi electro take you heard the album “This Mouth (nha.c cho em Mèo)”, to spread some jazzier, more organic waves.
Thanks to a brand new ‘warm hypno Neko mix’, “Chase Around Ôita Eki” reaches here a higher level of introspection, relaxation, meditation, rather different from the breathtaking speedy version that you knew from the B-side of “My Last Evening In Ôita”.


It’s all about… how to do

To enjoy this sensual music at its best, I advise you to lay on a comfortable bed, breathe deeply and slowly, and let your imagination do the talking.
This is more than music, this is the soundtrack of a moment in your life.


It’s all about… who’s that sleepy cat

Magnetism is hypnotic
author: trustno1
                            
Comparing these 2 new tracks and older Snowcat's tracks, the sound is much better. Excellent drums and fretless-y bass parts. The only problem to me is that the first song seems a little long. The second one is more distrurbing, quite strange. Great too, I would have loved to hear Mr Snowcat's voice again, but this is an excellent hypnotic instrumental. Just trust the sound and let it take you to a flight. My favorite moments are beginning at 6.38. Par rapport aux anciens morceaux (du moins, ceux que je connais), le son n'a rien à voir, ça fait carrément pro là! Les parties de batterie bien travaillées, et comme d'hab, j'adore les parties de basse, ça sonne fretless, me trompe-je? Le seul problème pour moi, c'est que le morceau traîne un peu en longueur je trouve. Le second morceau "Chase around..." dans son hypno warmo neko mix est plus étrange, et plus inquiétant, mais de qualité égale au titre précédent, même si j'aurais bien aimé entendre encore la voix du Chasse-neige. Etant donné le caractère hypnotique du titre (comme c'est indiqué sur la boîte), il faut juste faire confiance au son, et se laisser emporter. Mon passage préféré est le final, à partir de 6'38. Mais la fin est complètement ridicule chez moi (dysfonctionnement?), en fait y'a pas de fin. J'aime bien quand ça coupe sec en plein vol (cf The Cure), mais là ça sonne vraiment comme un problème technique... Je mettrai ça sur le dos de Soundclick ou mon FAI... mais j'attends avant de poster cet avis sur un site plus... euh... "officiel"

MYSTIC AND UNIQUE

on these 2 titles is really a unique feeling of something special that flows very deep in your ears. great sounds in ambient style and jazzy harmonies let you lean back and enjoy.
