Going to Serbia again :>

Yes I'm going again because there burek tastes much better. Sorry I didn't manage to post all the manga I wanted to post because I had no time (busy uploading for TNA) so it will haft to wait until I return from Serbia (like anyone cares or reads this blog anyway :D).

How wings are attached to the Backs of Angels

Very interesting and good animation I accidentally found on Youtube.

Craig Welch takes viewers inside a surreal, meticulously crafted world to meet a mysterious protagonist and his otherworldly visitor.

In this surreal exposition, we meet a man, obsessed with control. His intricate gadgets manipulate yet insulate, as his science dissects and reduces. How exactly are wings attached to the back of angels? In this invented world drained of emotion, where everything goes through the motions, he is brushed by indefinite longings. Whether he can transcend his obsessions and fears is the heart of the matter. A film without words.

Housui Yamazaki - Mail

Great and in a way comedic horror story about a man who hunts ghosts. The stories are serialized but there's also a main plot that lurks somewhere in the back. The story is about a man who hunts for ghosts and he releases them from this world by using a special gun which can only harm ghosts. He's also able to hear and see ghosts that wander around the living world. All stories are about ghosts but are not very generic and usually provides an interesting twist for each one. Drawing is ok I guess but nothing special or heavily detailed (it's not like that's a bad thing anyway) and it managed to give me the creeps at some parts. All in all this is a great manga but it has only 3 volumes. Lucky me the characters from this story uh migrate to The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery (around volume 4) that is still publishing so I guess Mail is in a way an indirect prequel to Kurosagi. :S

Shintaro Kago - Harakiri

You know those things that get popular and then suddenly everyone starts to do it/listen it/wear it/have it at your school? Well this is a story where harakiri (ritual suicide) has become quite fashionable and trendy. Lot's of irony and dark humor I love this one.

Shintaro Kago - Blow-Up

A story about macrocosm in a microcosm in a macrocosm. Just read it already. :P

Boichi - Hotel

To drift off from guro a bit. Hotel isn't really drawn by a Japanese artist he is Korean. I didn't read much Korean mangas/comics/whatever they are called but this one is exceptional! The first thing that struck me while I was reading Hotel was drawing. He has an unbelievable talent for drawing especially the characters and their facial expressions. The environment and background is also well drawn but it can't match the characters. The story takes you to a setting where the world faces an total flood and destruction of human civilization and very soon the whole planet will be a dead desert. Humans decide to build a huge building that they nicknamed Hotel where DNA of all being from earth will be store except humans DNA as a retribution for destroying the world. The Hotel has one supercomputer and it tells you a long story of his survival through millions of years protecting the DNA. Great story, highly recommended.

Shintaro Kago - Genesis

I really liked this story. Not much gore but a good dosage of sex. The story is about...well...genesis? Yep, it's about two gods who create the world and then fix the problems of the world as times goes on. Classic Shintaro work, the only bad side is that I don't enjoy his drawing as much as for example Suehiros but the plot and the setting make up for this to a degree that drawing isn't really that important.

Uziga Waita - You After the Rain

A heartwarming story of a boyfriend who takes care of her girlfriend because she IS A ZOMBIE. Funny semi-romantic story with mild guro enjoyment. This is my first post from Uziga I think, his works are quite well drawn (especially the sex scenes ^0^) and his stories usually are very comedic and contain a lot of gory killings we all like. I wasn't really sure if I should post this story first because it's not very usual work from him.

Download.

Shintaro Kago - Abstraction

Fairly known Shintaros manga. In this one Shintaro plays with the structure and order of how comics look like taking the reader through a wild and confusing drive literary across the comic. There's also a plot (A PLOT! IMAGINE THAT xD), it's about a girl and a boy who have sex but he uh forgets to pull out. :D

Mangas ahead.

I'm preparing some mangas for downloading. There's going to be some more one shots and 2 full manga books but I haven't decided which ones yet. Most likely one will be guro and the other one will be horror or cyberpunk or something completely different not sure yet ahaha. Anyway while you wait I'll show you how my high school looked like so you can see how our education system works perfectly.

Sachiko Kanenobu - Misora

Sachiko Kanenobu is generally acknowledged as Japan’s first female singer-songwriter.
Discovered as an precocious 18 year old in Osaka, Sachiko was signed in 1968 to Japan’s first ever independent record company, URC (Underground Record Club), who changed Japan’s musical landscape irrevocably in the late 60s and early 70s with artists like Happy End, Folk Crusaders and Kenji Endo. Sachiko was the only female artist on this era-defining label and the very fact that she wrote and sang her own songs made her a rarity among Japanese women.

But just a few months before her debut album Misora was released in 1972, Sachiko left Japan and secretly emigrated to America to marry music critic Paul Williams (Crawdaddy Magazine, Rolling Stone). She did not record again for almost a decade and didn’t release another album until 1992. Instead she settled with Williams in small-town California and raised two sons. Misora was released in her absence and promptly disappeared, without an artist to promote it.

Sachiko still performs to this day and since Misora was rediscovered by Japanese fans in the early 90s, has returned to her homeland many times to perform. Misora is now regarded as a landmark in Japanese musical history, and Sachiko is revered there as a true underground folk pioneer.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part

Well I'm sure pretty much everyone heard of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. They released plenty of albums and they are all different from each other (unlike some bands that I could mention) and I really have no idea in what genre to put him in but a lot of people tag him as post-punk on last.fm so I guess he is post-punk. This album is not post-punk it's much more calmer and smoother from the rest of his works. The most dominant instrument in this album is the piano which Nick Cave play so I guess he pretty much composed this whole album and he did a very well job. Most songs are slow and has this autumn-depression sound that I really enjoyed listening. Anyway, great album so be sure to check it out. I have no idea how to tag this so I'll just assume that this is pop. :S

Tracklist:

01. As I Sat Sadly By Her Side (6:15)
02. And No More Shall We Part (4:00)
03. Hallelujah (7:48)

BRB Serbia

Going to Serbia for a week and will be back on sunday! ^_^



I have relatives to visit, riots to attend, rakija to drink and do some fishing on the Danube yay!

When I come back I'm going to Split to see Iron Maiden live and then after that I'll be home finally and will be uploading more cool stuff like Nick Cave, Sachiko Kanenobu, Jhon Coltrane, Miles Davis, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, AK-47, FxPxOx as well as more mangas from Junji Ito, Shintaro Kago, Jun Hayami, Suehiro Maruo, Yamamoto Naoki, Otomo Katsuhiro and perhaps a movie or two. Until then enjoy the summer! ;)

Morita Doji - A Boy

Eh I don't really know how to explain this album but I guess saying that this is my favorite pop album ever is a good start. It has everything I ever wanted from pop music. No annoying techno beat, no annoying high pitched vocals, no annoying electronic beats, no common vulgarity of tits and ass flying all over and especially no lyrics that are bought from some third parties. This is honest and straightforward melancholic music from good old 70s which won me over as soon as I started to listen it. Morita Dojis albums got pretty much unnoticed and she had just one hit song and that's pretty much it. She left the music scene very early and released only 3 albums. Later on someone thought it might be a good idea to use her songs on some drama lama soap opera so her stuff got reissued but those are also sold out I'm afraid.

Tracklist:

01. 蒼き夜は (4:02)
02. 君と淋しい風になる (2:44)
03. ふるえているネ (4:37)
04. ぼくを見かけませんでしたか (4:22)
05. セルロイドの少女 (2:58)
06. 淋しい素描 (3:45)
07. ぼくが君の思い出になってあげよう (3:35)
08. G線上にひとり (3:35)
09. 終曲のために第3番「友への手紙」 (4:46)

See the discography post for all of her albums.

(Thanks Dirk for allowing me to discover this album. RIP)

Kenji Kawai - Ghost In The Shell OST

Ghost In The Shell is a well known sci-fi anime from 1995. It has everything a sci-fi movie needs such as robots, cyborgs, political games, sabotage and terrorists. When I was watching it I had a great deal of trouble of following the plot. This is mostly because this anime is not some standard action flick it has an very deep and well developed plot and dialogs are pain in the ass to understand if your native language is not English. Still this anime is very atmospheric and highly enjoyable. Soundtrack is just like the movie very atmospheric and epic-like especially the first song. Kenji seems to like making these kind of soundtracks (he also did soundtrack for Ringu 2) and he has plenty of experience in that area so the soundtrack is very enjoyable and I don't think anyone could make it any better.

Tracklist:

01 Making Of Cyborg (4:28)
02 Ghosthack (5:14)
03 Puppetmaster (4:21)
04 Virtual Crime (2:41)
05 Ghost City (3:34)
06 Access (3:16)
07 Nightstalker (1:44)
08 Floating Museum (5:05)
09 Ghostdrive (5:52)
10 Reincarnation (5:44)
11 Bonus Track (3:26)

Krynitza - Angel

Going along with the folk tones but passing from Celtic music to a bit eastern parts called Russia. Unlike Alan Stivell people from Krynitza do not experiment but they keep a 100% traditional sound of Russian folklore and pagan stories. What I liked the most about this record is the female voice because it gives this special enjoyment and tranquility while listening to it. The horrible downside of this album is that it's too short. They released another album last year but I'm not very happy with it and I saw it on few blogs already so I won't be posting it.

Tracklist:

01. Requiem (4:19)
02. Song of the Wind (3:23)
03. Angel (4:29)
04. Knyaz (4:32)
05. As upon the wild wasteland... (2:43)
06. The Leaves Of Life (4:02)
07. Rusalia (1:58)
08. As Upon The Wild Wasteland... (Live) (3:15)

Alan Stivell - Chemins De Terre

Whenever someone would mention to me Celtic music I would always think of Scots in skirts playing their instruments (which I forgot the name >.<) in some rainy hilly place. Well this is Celtic too but Alan Stivell is from France. The music he creates is usually played with harp but he also plays other folklore instruments. The sweet compositions of harp gives you this medieval feeling that goes throughout the album but he also experiments with combining the old sounds with new sounds and instruments like electric guitars. While I find experimenting in music always positive and am very open to it I'm not really a fan of this decision to implement such instruments. I guess I'm just an old conservative when it comes to folklore music. But not all songs are like that, there is still an good amount of old fashioned songs. Released in 1974 (I know my folder says 1973, that was a typing error).

Fuan no Tane/Seeds Of Anxiety (Volume 2 & 3)

Ok, ok I know I promised I'll post this sooner but I had some unexpected lan partying so I was busy killing people in Quake 4 so I was unable to post it. Trivial stuff aside, here is the second and third volume of this great series. The volumes in terms of drawing are the same no big changes or anything the style is still great and realistic. The only difference from the first volume is that the setting of the stories are different. Stories are still creepy and ghostly and pack a lot of freaky fun so be sure to download these two if you liked the first volume.
