Can you tell me if the book has English text for the essay and discography, or is it Japanese only? Can you tell me if the 2nd CD is essentially "covers" or new interpretations with "conventional" instruments, or is it significantly remixes with a lot of electronica? Thanks, Kevin
Looks like a lovely set, but wow... $70!
ReplyDeleteIt's a business expense, Bohus. Buy it, deduct it.

ReplyDeleteText is bilingual. 2nd cd is covers using a variety of conventional and electronic instruments. Very eclectic — like Scott.
