Re: Oblivion with Bells
I did some proper translations for you guys. It was a bit hard coz there's lots of weird vocab in music which isn't in my dictionary. Sometimes I was just guessing, but I think I got the vibe of the tracklist better than google's translator. My comments in ()s

Enjoy.

-----------
2.Beautiful Burnout
A non-stop continuation of track 1, this track is a dark melancholic hard-electro track. Karl's voice is almost muttering and the strongly emphasised Latin percussion is also effective.

3.Holding The Moth
Starting of as a Chicago House style minimal beat with Karl's voice over the top, gradually joined by a pad (? whatever that is) and pianos. A sort of simple yet charming club track.

4.To Heal
An interlude track consisting of a symphonic synthesized strings arrangement.

5.Ring Road
Middle-eastern hip-hop beat with Karl doing a "The Streets" style rap makes this quite a novelty.

6.Glam Bucket
Music-box style synth arpeggio reminiscent of "Rez". A trippy electronic track. The 16 minute based groove (? not sure what this means) is quite 80s.

7.Boy,Boy,Boy
On a continuation of a "JAL To Tokyo" electro beat, Karl's bluesy song echos, with a fresh section of rock (ok, I admit I have no idea how to translate this either). The breaks have a flavour of Born Slippy style, likely to be a big hit on the dance-floor.

8.Cuddle Bunny vs Celtic Villages
An interludey track which lets you hear the texture of the synthesizer.

9.Faxed Invitation
An impressive techno track with a morse-code-like bleepy riff. Has a similar tone to the tracks released via download.

10.Good Morning Cockerel
A deep and significant (flavoursome?) four-key piano track,

11.Best Mamgu Ever
A down-tempo track which starts with a muffled electro beat tone. The greedy (nope, i'm lost here) and wandering vocals are reminiscent of Cafe Del Mar.
