Terror Danjah - ‘Gremlinz (The Instrumentals 2003-2009)’ [2009]
A great showcase for the early grime/dubstep sound that he helped define, full of range too for a genre known to be insular and monochromatic during its early era - RIP to one of the greats #MWE

‘00s Japan rap classic… it’s always tough adjusting my perception because in the US timeline, this’d be NY neo boom bap you’d hear on indies at the time (slicker sample chops, streetwise personas, stiff flows) and… i’m hardly ever in the mood for those these days #MWE
super hard techno tunes, a lot from himself, flashes of his godlike technicality in the transitions but idk jack about dj’ing so still can’t fully digest the mix magic at work 30 years removed from today’s technological advancements #MWE
shedding the goth of their (great!) s/t debut but still got the postpunk edge, recalls the u2 i know for me but also, as a j-rock listener, buck tick of the time #MWE
while still forming their identity from the sounds of their environment, charmed to hear a more pronounced goth/postpunk influence here than in their later smashes to align them more to the era’s v-kei musically #MWE
with slight touches of the decade’s art pop, gorgeous drifter of an 80s idol album—the title: windy dream. i hear she’ll enter an “artist era” deeper into the decade, excited to continue into her discog #MWE
great collection of instrumentals from the grime crew during their ‘00s prime, when they were helping to define the genre’s early sound. exemplary, tho more a sampler for me in that it’s missing the voices, excited to dig into their mixtapes next #MWE
