Yuri Miyauchi "Farcus"
ALBUM (15 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD034 /
$16
Kris says:
Miyauchi-san is back with his sweet recognizable sound (see also his
previous album "Parcage", RYECD017).
New album, new
tracks, and new
delights. |

Miou Miou "La
la grande finale"
ALBUM (12 TRACKS) / 2007 (originally released 2006)
RYECD028 /
$16
Kris says:
Miou Miou is an East Bohemia band formed in the spring of 2003. MM´s
music is characterized by
girlish vocals in
French, catchy lyrics,
playfulness,
repetitive elements, dynamic contrasts and searching for new sounds. Their
music makes use of a wide range of instruments, from more unique instruments
such as analog synthesizers (Vermona, Farfisa, Delicia), oscillators,
vibraphone, harp and kantele; to more concert stuff like guitars, bass and
drums. |

Grammatics "Grammatics
EP"
EP (4 TRACKS) / 2007
KLEP004 /
$12
Kris says:
Grammatics are a stylistically
diverse band and
like to hop though most of the genres related to
indie-rock.
Grammatics formed around April 2006 in a terraced house basement just
outside Leeds city centre. They soon found that they shared many mutual
loves...argument, doing things in the most difficult possible manner and
general pretentiousness. |

Cap Pas Cap
"Not Not is Fine"
EP (5 TRACKS) / 2007
KLEP003 /
$12
Kris says:
Inspired by late seventies/early eighties
no-wave punk sounds
and with a fascination with all things psychedelic and krautrock.
Go bonkers! |

The Tough
Alliance "The New School"
ALBUM (12 TRACKS) / 2007 (Originally released 2005)
RYECD033 /
$16
Kris says:
A modern classic Swedish pop record. You either love them or hate
them. Since the Rallye edition contains the two smashing singles "Holiday"
and "Make it Happen" I bet most of you will like this album. Let's get dumb,
let's listen to TTA and
snort coke.
The Rallye edition contains two extra tracks. |

Soviac "Hello
Bunny"
ALBUM (12 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD018 /
$16
Kris says:
GhettoTech?
Electropunk? I dunno, I've lost track of all dance genres nowadays. I
know however that this Swedish trio makes hard electronic dance music, not
unlike Fox 'n' Wolf
on valium. |
 |
The Zax "Sheepshearing"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD032 /
$16
Kris says:
Typical US
packed-with-a-punch-Pop
meets hip hop rhythms. The Zax - a.k.a. Rion Harmon - calls his music
Ghetto Pop Music.
See if you can make heads or tails out of it. |
 |
The Silent
League "Of stars and other somebodies"
ALBUM (17 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD031 /
$16
Kris says:
Exquisite pop
music from ex-Mercury Rev keyboardist's band. Influences include Electric
Light Orchestra, Scott Walker, Lou Reed, the Tindersticks, the Flaming Lips,
Todd Rundgren, Roxy Music and George Harrison.
A must-have! |

The Far Cries "S/T"
MINIALBUM (7 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD017 /
$14
Kris says:
I'll it it to the UK critics: With songs of this calibre, they won't
be quiet for long" - SINGLE OF THE MONTH - Record Collector // "Wonderful
music from The Far Cries. Single "Stepping's" pounding riff gets us
shuffling from foot to foot like the natural born dancers we are." -
ARTROCKER // ...it is rock n roll with a similar
dynamic to The
Kills, but with more of an art-school edge...- MUSIC WEEK // "The Kind
of spiky pop song
that dreams are made of. So wake up and head down to your local indie store
and buy, buy, buy." - DROWNED IN SOUND

ALBUM (15 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD016 /

Kris says:
If dark
postpunk and
Gang of Four is your
cup of tea, then
Nelson just
might be your spoon
of sugar. |
 |
Montag "Going
Places"
ALBUM (14 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD030 /
$16
Kris says:
On this album Antoine Bedard collaborates with friends from different
parts of the world. These friends are for instance:
M83,
Final Fantasy,
Beach House
and Au Revoir
Simone. If you liked the earlier Montag release on Rallye, then be sure
to get this one as it follows in the same light, poppy and accessible
electronic sound.
The Rallye edition contains 2 extra tracks. |
 |
Dorian
Pimpernel "Hollandia"
MINIALBUM (7 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD029 /
$16
Kris says:
On "Hollandia" the French 7-man orchestra Dorian Pimpernel delivers classy vocal
popmusic whose sound is clearly drawn from the
60s pop classics
map with a close relationship to the
French pop legacy.
Look beyond all of this and you'll discover some nice
soft rock tunes
as well. |
 |
MIT "Goodbook"
ALBUM (13 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD015 /
$16
Kris says:
Behind this classy album cover hides warped out new raveish sounds
that is reminiscent of
Devo on crack,
German 80s new wave or
Hot Chip on coca-cola.
Arm yourself with glowsticks and enter the night. |
 |
RATT:ATT:AGG
"And on the First Dat the Gods Created"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD014 /
$16
Kris says:
Ok, this album is just about as crazy as rock music can get.
It's as vivid as late
70s new wave and as
inebriated as a mob gang-dancing to a Buzzcocks single. |
 |
Boys of Brazil
"S/T"
EP (5 TRACKS) / 2007
KLEP001 /
$12
Kris says:
Time to put on the leather gloves and
rawk! For fans of
Libertines and
similar new rock bands who
just don't give a damn. |

Dananananaykroyd
"S/T"
EP (5 TRACKS) / 2007
KLEP002 /
$12
Kris says:
Straight out of the Moshi Moshi singles club comes this fast-talking
Ghostbuster to rock
the pants off you. For fans of
lo-fi acts such
as Superchunk,
Sonic Youth, Fugazi et al. |
 |
Surkin "Action
Replay"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD010 /
$16
Kris says:
One of the better acts to arrive
from the mp3 techno blogosphere and carry on the legacy of
early Daft Punk.
So if you've been
new raving lately you've surely danced to some of Surkin's works. Here's
a complilation that gathers 6 songs and 5 remixes (by
Riot in Belgium
and Para One to
name a few). |
 |
Matt & Kim
"S/T"
ALBUM (10 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD011 /
$16
Kris says:
Take my word for it when I say that US duo Matt & Kim makes New York
go totally insane
with their simple
keyboard & drums setup. It's like Mates of State, only better! And to
top it all off, M&K certainly has made two of the most entertaining music
videos in recent memory (check them on youtube). |
 |
Adam Kesher
"Modern Times"
ALBUM (12 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD012 /
$14
Kris says:
This is the sound of
when rock and dance
music collides.
When old waves clash with new waves.
When music is making
love to the listener's ears. Six man band Adam Kesher is the sound of
Edwyn Collins jamming with Gang of Four after a coffee break in front of the
Floukids blog.
This CD is the "Modern Times" EP with an additional 7 remixes to boot. |
 |
Panther
"Secret Lawns"
ALBUM (13 TRACKS) / 2007
KLCD013 /
$16
Kris says:
Bring out your glowsticks, we're going to the post-postpunk
discotheque! Charlie Salas-Humara is one to watch out for. "Secret Lawns"
forges rock,
club rhythms,
jazz and
pure electronic
nonsense with plain madness. The result? Something way out there and
original. |
 |
Yacht
"I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real"
ALBUM (12 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD027 /
$16
Kris says:
Is it a plane? A Bird? A comet? No, it's a flying Yacht! This is a
weird hybrid of
acoustic pop, new
wave (think Tom
Tom Club on a chemical substance of your choice) and DFAesque
electronica,
strung together with magic touch of expressiveness. |
 |
Au Revoir
Simone "Bird of Music"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2007
RYECD025 /
$16
Kris says:
Our favourite Williamsburg girls are back with their debut full
length album! Since you've already bought all the ARS releases prior to this
you know what to expect from those three old-school keyboard afficionados.
But in case you don't, then listen to
this,
this and
this. |
 |
Number0
"Sero"
MINI-ALBUM (6 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD024 /
$13
Kris says:
Another Japanese band joins the
Rallye ranks. This time it is a three-piece armed with samplers, guitars,
kalimbas and Gameboys. From this setup Number0 creates a
smooth,
ethereal
kind of rock music, in the same vein as certain
American
postrockers or
European
electroacoustic artists. But most of all, it
sounds like
Japanese shores. |
 |
Henri Faberge
& The Adorables
"S/T"
ALBUM (14 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD023 /
$16
Kris says:
Certainly the largest band since I'm from Barcelona and The
Polyphonic Spree, Canadian Henri Faberge & The
Adorables
are made up of 18 people who set out to compose
jaded pop
anthems for disillusioned lovers. This album spans
timeless sounds
and themes around, spinning tales of creaking naïvete, whispering excess,
tiresome sexploits, asmathic distaste and melancholy dispondence. Don't
blame them if you don't get it, or any. Most certainly for fans of
Belle &
Sebastian!
The Rallye edition contains one bonus track. |

Au Revoir
Simone "Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation - Deluxe edition!"
2CD ALBUM (15 TRACKS) / 2005+2006
RYECDS008 / SOLD OUT!!
Kris says:
This is the re-release of Au Revoir Simone's debut CD (released on here
on Rallye in 2005 as RYECD008). It contains the same
simple yet
compelling back-to-basic-synthesizer pop, delivered with
a hint of playful
melancholy. But this time it is accompanied with a remix CD which
features names such as
The
Shortwave Set,
The
Superimposers and the Rallye label mate
Yuri
Miyauchi. |

Strange Idols
"It's No Fun!"
EP (6 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD022 /
$12
Kris says:
Alright! I have really been
waiting patiently for the jingle-jangle guitarpop to take over the Rallye
catalog! London-based Strange Idols really do sound like their idols (80s
postcard bands and such) which may perhaps seem a tad unimaginative but they
surely deliver the songs
flawlessly,
just a have a listen to
the title song
and you'll probably be hooked. This EP compiles their two singles and adds a
few extra tracks. |
 |
Lo-Fi-Fnk "Boylife"
ALBUM (13 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD009 /
$16
Kris says:
One of the absolutely best Swedish albums of 2006, Lo-Fi-Fnk's debut
album features everything a pop afficionado can ask for:
extremely catchy
popsongs, a
throbbing electrodisco pulse and a
tough, boyish
charm. Don't miss this!
The Klee edition features 2 extra tracks. |
 |
Klaxons "Xan
Valleys EP"
EP (6 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD008 / SOLD OUT!!
Kris says:
Straight outta the Modular roster comes the
warped
freakout rock band Klaxons! This is
modern rock
music for very open-minded spirits. When was the last time you imagined
that punkrock music would sound
like this?
Includes a fine remix by
Van She,
the group that has been dubbed the future of Australia. |
 |
K.I.M. "System
Breakdown"
MINI-ALBUM (9 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD007 /
$12
Kris says:
If classy electrohouse is the name of your game then you've might
have taken the Australian Modular act The Presets to your heart ("Girl and
the Sea EP" 4-evah!!). K.I.M. is the solo project from one of the preset
guys and is more or less
giddy
electrodisco which seems to be the thing kids like to
dance,
drink and snort
coke to nowadays. Includes remixes by
Midnight
Juggernauts and
Riot in Belgium. |
 |
Toymaker "The
Kindergarten"
MINI-ALBUM (8 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD021 /
$14
Kris says:
In need for some
cozy autumn
pop electronica? Why not try Toymaker's
crisp output!
It kind of reminds me of the
breezy feel
that Air delivered back in the days when they were all into moogsy grooves
and stuff. |
 |
Midnight
Juggernauts "A Battle of Two Cities"
ALBUM (9 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD006 /
$16
Kris says:
Australian duo Midnight Juggernauts come from the same music scene as
Cut Copy and have quickly become one of my new favorite bands to watch out
for. "Shadows"
is just one of those great, eclectic neo-house songs that has the disco funk
of an early Daft Punk 12", the crisp synthetic sounds of 80s ELO and the
eerie vocals of any British postpunk circa 1982. Furthermore, there's
DAF-esque
disco marches,
Brian
May-esque rockout vocoder disco, and
looped
Frenchness hoolabaloo in this dynamite package. |
 |
The Redcoats
are Coming! "Sermon of the Wolf"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD005 /
$16
Kris says:
Watch out, this very original Brooklynite trio just might eat your
children for breakfast! I mean, just take a look at this quote from the
website: "Taking influence from such things as
spiders,
the black plague, Henry Darger, Dario Argento,
Rosemary's
Baby,
Black Forest, and of course, Paul Revere, their spooky and danceable
songs have been dubbed by some as Drac-core!". Do YOU dare to buy their
debut album? |
 |
The Valentinos "The
Valentinos EP"
MINI-ALBUM (6 TRACKS) / 2006 (originally released 2005)
KLCD004 /
$12
Kris says:
More Aussie-rawk! Should appeal to those who are into
postpunk
such as Gang of Four or
Bloc Party.
Includes a
classy remix by "the future of Australia" Van She. |
 |
Damn Arms "Patterns"
MINI-ALBUM (9 TRACKS) / 2006 (originally released 2005)
KLCD003 /
$13
Kris says:
Get
yer rocks off! This is the Japanese edition of the Australian rawk
group's popular "Patterns"
EP. It features all six tracks of the original single but is boosted with
three classy remixes from
Darlin'/Belgium
(=Cut Copy?),
Test Icicles
and Midnight
Juggernauts. |
 |
One Day Diary "Fantastic
Laboratory"
ALBUM (10 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD020 /
$16
Kris says:
This Japanese duo makes some kind of
hiphop/pop
hybrid music based around beats and piano. For
laidback days
in the sun I suppose. |
 |
Short Stories
"Currents"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD019 /
$16
Kris says:
Short Stories is Brooklynite kid Michael McGuire who makes
dazzling pop
music strung together with
Postal
Service-esque programming and
beautifully sung
vocals. Has a 7" coming out on Morr music too. |
 |
The Embassy "Tacking"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2006 (originally released 2005)
RYECD018 /
$16
Kris says:
This was the best Swedish record of 2005 in my opinion. Every word,
chord, beat and note just spells
P-O-P from start to finish. "Tacking" has
everything that an
acid house-fueled, anglophile pop nerd wished that the
year of 1991 really sounded like. But wake up, because it really takes place
in our time, now, today,
forever.
The Rallye edition contains new artwork and 2 bonus tracks. |

Various
Artists "Keep and Open Mind or Else"
ALBUM (20 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD001 /
$16
Kris says:
This compilation is the starting
point for Rallye's new sub-label called Klee. It presents 20 tracks with
radical artists either doing modern rock music, heavy electrohouse or
perhaps a mixture of those two genres. The thing is - just like the
McCarthy-parafrasing title suggests - to have an open mind if you want to
experience something that differs from the ordinary. Well, this sounds like
natural common sense but for the Rallye/Klee founder Fumi, this would be a
strong political motivation and criticism towards the music scene in Japan
where foreign bands are neglected and indie labels don't stand a chance in
the highly commercialized music business. Fumi will keep on fighting until
he becomes bankrupt, and artists like
Damn Arms,
Detect,
Kim (of The Presets),
Poney Poney,
Crusz and
Simian Mobile Disco are there to back him up. |
 |
Rekindle "The
Chandelier"
ALBUM (10 TRACKS) / 2006
KLCD002 /
$16
Kris says:
We were all astounded when we heard the "Ice
Skating Girl" song on Trevor Jackson's label Output back in 2003. It had
great hit potential and sounded exactly like an updated hipster clash
between New Edition and Scritti Politti. Now the time has finally come for
Murray Creagh to release his debut album, filled with loads of those
good
hit tunes
that makes you want to go back to the
neon-coloured
new wave times in the 80s. Right? Right! |
 |
Yuri Miyauchi
"Parcage"
ALBUM (15 TRACKS) / 2006
RYECD017 /
$16
Kris says:
Miyauchi-san's debut work is a display of
electronica with
enchanting sounds and structures! Usually built around
a crisp rhythm
and pulses of synthesizers, Miyauchi then adds his acoustic guitar to
create sweet
instrumentals. Equally beautiful as accessible, "Parcage" might as well
be the laptop generation's take on Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Desafinado"
album. |
 |
The Department
of Eagles "The Cold Nose"
ALBUM (15 TRACKS) / 2006 (originally released 2005)
RYECD016 /
$16
Kris says:
This is the Japanese issue of the critically acclaimed release from
British Melodic Records (home of Minotaur Shock, Pedro and Psapp to name a
few). "The Cold Nose" is a mystic hybrid of
sample-crazed
downtempo electronica,
singer/songwriter-tendencies and
other strange
stuff, fused together with a lo-fi touch.
The Rallye edition contains 2
bonus tracks. |
 |
Certainly, Sir
"Tan"
ALBUM (9 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD015 /
$16
Kris says:
"Tan" is the excellent follow-up to "Mugic". From the opener "Happy"
via "Midnight
Again" (with a guest appearance from Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie/Postal
Service) to the closing "Act
Fast", this album shows a leap of progression in terms of both sound and
songwriting. The vocals are smoother, the electronics are crispier. And
these are just some of the qualities that make "Tan" essential to every
collector of contemporary electropop. |
 |
Au Revoir
Simone "Hurricanes EP"
EP (3 TRACKS) / 2005
RYEEP001 / $10
Kris says:
Just in time for their first Japanese tour, Au Revoir Simone put another release out on the market. Exclusive for this EP is a
new song
and the remix
(sounding almost like The Breeders' "Cannonball", don'tcha think?) of the
title
track made by Japanese indiehouse legend Masashi Naka, who makes music
under the Losfeld moniker when not running his influential label Escalator.
Not to be missed by serious collectors! |
 |
Montag "Goodbye
Fear"
MINI-ALBUM (7 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD014 / $13
Kris says:
After a brilliant album on the French Gooom label ("Alone Not Alone")
Antoine Bédard returns with 7 new tracks that show a looser, and
poppier side
to the Montag universe (looks like he's been listening to Stereolab lately).
However, do not despair! The
lush
instrumentation of glockenspiel, bells and
soft rock
arrangements is still as present as before. |
 |
Garden "Round
and Round"
ALBUM (12 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD013 / $16
Kris says:
Garden is the band of Simon Lord (of UK psych-folk band Simian) which marks the return to the
lush pop music
the Japanese wouldn't hesitate to call
Neo-Acoustic.
There are twelve
brilliant,
folky, flute-adorned popsongs that recall the
heydays of The
Pale Fountains, and sung with a voice as golden as Louis Philippe's. |

Artists "Rallye Cloak 02: Swim Sweet Swedish"
COMPILATION (17 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD012 / $16
Kris says:
Exit Tambourine Studios - Enter a new generation of Swedish pop! Rallye
proudly presents 17 new Swedish pop expressions that will blow the common
Japanese predictions about stereotyped Swedish music into smithereens! Sing
yowsah yowsah to dance anthems from
The Embassy,
Lo-Fi-Fnk and
The Tough

Hans Appelqvist and
Patrik Torsson and then
kick back and enjoy the smorgasbord. |

Differnet "The
Next Compensation"
2xALBUM (22 TRACKS) / 2005 (Originally released 2003 and 2005)
RYECD011 /
$17
Kris says:
More Swedes! Differnet is one of the most appreciated electronic acts in
Sweden after two successful albums. These albums are compiled here and
features many
gems, each differnet from the previous one. So if you're into
both noisy and sweet
electronic fragments fused together
with first class programming then feel free to walk the adventurous road named
Differnet. Oh, and beware of the bee swarm! |
 |
Panache "The
Black Letters"
ALBUM (11 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD010 / $16
Kris says:
The first Panache release is a sampladelic cut'n'paste pop adventure
that will take you
through a wildly eclectic mix of styles in a manner somewhat reminiscent of the Japanese
pop scene in the 90s. I'm apparantly being described in Japan as an embodiment of
The Avalanches, early Cut Copy, Lemon Jelly and Her Space Holiday (and, yes, that
is quite a difficult bunch of artists to live up to I must admit!). I hope you will
enjoy the album as much as I enjoyed the records and films that inspired me to make this
happen. |
 |
Chin Chin "Shallow
Dive"
ALBUM (15 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD009 / $16
Kris says:
If the current folktronica movement (Four Tet, etc) is the name of your game then Chin Chin
definitely is a new friend to play with. This release is filled with
biodegradable down-tempo beats and
beautiful, broken sounds.
The Rallye
edition has a whopping amount of 4 extra tracks. |
 |
Au Revoir
Simone "Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation"
MINI-ALBUM (8 TRACKS) / 2005
RYECD008 / $13
Kris says:
The debut release from this semi-hyped New York trio contains
simple yet
compelling back-to-basic-synthesizer pop, delivered with
a hint of playful
melancholy. And those of you who are graced with the ability to read
Japanese may also get something extra out of the liner notes written by pop
legend Takako Minekawa. |
 |
Various
Artists "Rallye Cloak 01"
COMPILATION (16 TRACKS) / 2004
RYECD007 / $16
Kris says:
This is an unusually solid compilation with a wide range of electronic pop
expressions from western indie labels. Like most compilations it has its
hits and misses but the CD contains too many killer tracks (i.e.
Airiel,
Neeve,
Akt Apart,
Pop Levi,
Pandatone and
I Monster to name a few)
to be ignored. |
 |
Certainly, Sir
"Mugic"
ALBUM (13 TRACKS) / 2004 (Originally released 2002)
RYECD006 /
$16
Kris says:
Fans of Junior Boys and The Postal Service might enjoy this electronic
mish-mash of broken rhythms, Fender Rhodes and normative blips and blops.
The upbeat "Red" and the painfully beautiful "The Vacant Lot of My Heart" are the key songs to this album in my opinion.
The Rallye edition has 2 extra tracks and edited artwork.
|
 |
Junior Boys
"Last Exit"
ALBUM (10 TRACKS) / 2004
RYECD005 / $16
Kris says:
One of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2004 and a personal
favorite of mine. A
crisp electronic pop record that echoes of
desolation and oozes of chilly Canadian atmosphere and
tender songwriting.
Sorry, but there's something wrong with you if you don't like this.
The Rallye edition has different (and nicer!)
artwork and printed lyrics but, sadly, no extra tracks. |
 |
Junior Boys "Birthday"
EP COLLECTION (8 TRACKS) / 2004
RYECD004 / $13
Kris says:
This release compiles the 2 EPs ("Birthday" and "High Come Down") that
Junior Boys put out before their album "Last Exit". This means you
collectors will
have both Manitoba(/Caribou)'s and Fennesz's remixes on one CD; now isn't
that terrific?
The Rallye edition has different artwork. |
 |
Psapp "Northdown"
MINI-ALBUM (7 TRACKS) / 2004
RYECD003 / $13
Kris says:
Very enjoyable electronica. Psapp are pretty hyped in Japan at the
moment since their participation on Sketch Show's remix album. I am not too familiar with Psapp's
discography, but as I understand it this CD contains
songs exclusive to
Rallye (except
for "Curuncula" which is also featured in a slightly trimmed
version on the 2004 album "Tiger, My
Friend"). |
 |
Coralie "Suite"
MINI-ALBUM (6 TRACKS) / 2004
RYECD002 / $13
Kris says:
One of the best releases of 2004 in my opinion. Coralie mix
sweet and accessible melodies with a sensible hi-tech soundscape.
The electronic
programming is really nifty and the jingle-jangle guitars shine
like crystals in the night. Maybe that's what all the birds on the sleeve
are staring at? |
 |
Folon "Lost
Pony"
EP (4 TRACKS) / 2002
RYECD001 / $10
Kris says:
Much like Coralie, Folon merges
decent electronic programming and
accessible acoustic guitar play. All tracks are very nice but
the title track is a
knockout. FYI: Folon is Rallye
founder Fuminori Chikakoshi's band and features members from Coralie and
Metro (whose jazzy Francis Lai-pastische "Paradise Lost" you might have
picked up from Spanish Elefant Records a couple of years ago). |
