"2018 release. Making music as Illreme for over 15 years, as well as being a member of hip-hop trio Baleine 3000, Jun Kamoda has been a formidable force in Japan's music scene for quite some time. ""Surreal Tongue in Northern Osaka"" kicks off the album with organic, choppy hip-hop paced drums lead by rugged Japanese vocals. Kamoda then follows with ""Nightmare Club"" and ""Crush"" - two tuneful, funk-infused rollers. ""Hakoniwa Disco Strut"" switches up to a reformed new-age disco track with an emphatic '60s electric guitar solo surrounding the center. The next three tracks, ""Mt. Woo"", ""Gravity of Love"", and ""Blooming Blues.o0O"" are all peppered with high-energy, uplifting melodies layered over a more uniform house sound. ""The Ruddy Sunset"", is a pitched down, Balearic inspired dance track. The album decisively ends by throwing genre categories completely out the window with ""No Rhyme Nation"" - tough, broken drums and breaks of unpredictable, eccentric melodies are the theme here. Contains four-page cartoon booklet (12x24"") by Jun Kamoda."
