Given Illustrations 2 (w/ ComiComi Studio Bonus: Foiled Illustration Card)Kizu NatsukiSo Pretty and I Love It!!!!!OMG I love this new illustrations book!!! So pretty and the core is so beautiful along with the art inside!!! It was very well packaged as well!!! It was wrapped with bubble wrap and it came in great condition!! I also ordered the Monochrome version as well and I think that helped keep it in great condition as well because that one was bubble wrapped with a cardboard cutout to keep it secure. It was all wrapped with packing paper. Also, the foiled illustration card is so beautiful!!!

Mixed Bag's First AlbumMixed BagOne and gone!1976 jazz fusion gem from the mysteriously short-lived band Mixed Bag on the legendary Tribe label out of Detroit. This was their debut... and spoiler alert: also their finale. One and done, like a musical mic drop that nobody quite caught. Picture this: It's the mid-70s, the air is thick with post-bop ambition and Herbie Hancock-style electric dreams. Eddie Russ (the keyboard wizard who also produced) rounds up a crew of lesser-known but seriously talented players, and they cook up six tracks of funky, soulful, Latin-tinged fusion that somehow manages to sound both dated-in-the-best-way and timelessly groovy. Standouts? "La Margarita" kicks things off like a cocktail party that got way too funky — 8 minutes of percolating percussion, buttery keys, and horns that strut like they own the block. It's the kind of opener that makes you wonder why this band didn't conquer the world (or at least Detroit's better lounges). "I Wish" brings the dreamy side — smooth as melted chocolate, with solos that float like they're on vacation. Then there's "Ziaus" and "Shark", which lean harder into that righteous soul-jazz pocket. Imagine if Weather Report chilled out, invited some Motown vibes, and forgot to take themselves too seriously. The whole thing is a perfect "mixed bag" — some upbeat Latin flavors, some mellow post-bop ballads, a dash of funk. Not revolutionary, but deliciously competent and warm. Collectors and jazz fusion crate-diggers lost their minds when it got a nice reissue treatment around 2021 (shoutout to those limited pressings that look gorgeous and sound crisp). This album is the musical equivalent of showing up to a potluck with an incredible dish... and then never coming back to another one. "Hey guys, we nailed it on take one—peace out forever!" The band name is hilariously on-the-nose: it's literally a mixed bag of styles, and they only bothered to drop one bag before vanishing into obscurity. Respect the commitment to the bit, I guess. If you're into 70s jazz fusion that's more about vibe than virtuosic fireworks, hunt this down. It's obscure enough to make you feel cool when you play it, but good enough that your friends won't mock you (much). Solid 4/5 stars — loses a point only because they teased us with greatness and then ghosted like a bad Tinder date.

Time goes by/Sora [Limited Edition]
Every Little ThingTime goes by/Sora [Limited Edition]Every Little ThingA nostalgic tripThe music is such a beautiful reminder of my youth in the 90s. This is pure pop bliss! I was surprised that it was manufactured with a Nike box hole in the EP and the paper sleeve could’ve been a cardboard one for sturdiness.

Here For It AllMariah CareyA welcome return of the queen!Whilst Mariah’s vocals have changed, the music and song writing is still tasteful and produced with class. The physical Japanese edition inclusions are worth it if you want the duet version of Sugar Sweet.

audio-technica/ Spare Record Cleaning Solution / AT634aAn improvement for dispensingI use this every time I spin a record. It’s much easier to dispense! The old version was silly and dried out easily if you didn’t plug it in with each use. The new nib is so much better and easier to squirt into the cleaner.

Be Perfunctory [Limited Release]Faye WongGreat reissue compilatoonI was excited to hear about this reissue. The music itself is perfect, however I have some reservations on how it has been cut. It doesn’t appear to be good on parts of the low end where most of these songs would benefit from the range. It’s very vocal forward and there a slight clicks between songs. If you missed out on the HK release, this would be ok , or get the new release of the 10” EP set.

Wormhole / Yumi AraI [CD+2LP+Cassette Tape] [All Media Edition / Limited Edition]Yumi MatsutoyaSublime!This was the soundtrack when I was travelling recently. This album has all the tunes for any mood. I really enjoyed how they tastefully used her AI vocals and blended it. The LP is perfect and I’m yet to hear the CD and cassette. But I’m sure it will be perfect like the LP.

Tokimeki Egao [w/ 2Blu-ray, Limited Edition]Cho Tokimeki SendenbuA new concept...A new concept, yes: You pre-paid the item, but it is sold out before the released date. And at the relased date, there is one on Mercari at the "nice" price of 25000 yens without any taxes... Did the production company disregard the pre-orders? Perhaps I will get the one I have paid at February, 12 in the first week of April... I wonder why there are so many problems with the 10th anniversaries of so many groups... And the price: it's completely unjustified. Even with 2 blurays... Wait and see...

Back On TrackShakraExcellent Swiss hard'n'heavyIn my opinion, Sharka is one of the most underrated European rock bands. Their music is balancing between hard rock and heavy metal but it's very melodic and full charged with drive and energy. Their power ballads are a special thing. This edition contains a rare alternate version of "Why" song with John Prakesh on vocals.
