GLAY - ‘Hai To Diamond’ (1994)
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
idol pop like a winter vacation, carol-like (a few actual Christmas themed songs, better than they let on) yet to get to their final album, but most conceptually cohesive out of their catalog? a personal fave from them so far #MWE
