Given this is a product of the late 90s (the songs where written much earlier than when discs were made in early 2000) - the grunge inspiration is something that a lot of younger first time listeners never mention because they mistake it for other genres. This is essentially a time capsule of what was still popular at the time: grunge, nu metal, alt rock pop (often inspired by bands like Smashing Pumpkins), and etc - all while experimenting with vapor wave and genres that would become familiar 20 years later with gen z - but were totally bizzare and unpopular/experimental (even unlistenable) to 'most' people at the time. Honestly, had I listened to this when I was in collage in 1999/2000 I probably would have hated it. Now years later I appreciate it, as a lot of what they were doing with this EP in 99 is now common in the 2023. And though people seem to prefer the Remastered versions, I prefer the original flaws and all. Throw on some sennheiser HD 600s and sit back and relax. Its a beautiful time capsule.
Honestly the original version adds to the obscurity. A niche relic lost by time only to resurface over recent years gaining a good amount of people digging the music.can’t imagine how the band members were thinking/reacting seeing their forgotten project they did during their highschool days when they were once close friends suddenly garnering popularity because of some curious 4channers
I'm a Death metal fan. But still I like this non Death Metal music. It's actually really good. I expected some kind of baby metal/ Poppy sounding band. I'm pleasantly surprised for a vapor/chill record. Good shit Panchiko rocks!
Compared to the remaster: The bass is more prominent than the remaster. Enough that my cars subwoofers actually are getting a loud enough signal to work. In the remaster it’s like there’s just a hint of bass. It’s quieter than the remaster And there’s slight compression. Which is to be expected.
fr. I burned the flac files from the description onto a cd and even at low volume the bass vibrates the whole room. Especially on "Stabilizers for Big Boys"
Honestly this sounds pretty normal for a rip off of a rotted disk. Not sure what’s supposed to be so different from the mastered version. Sounds good to me
This is not the rotted version. This is a rip of an intact version of the original CD, before it was remastered for streaming and the new physical copies.
I mean this does sound kinda ass. Around this time Shibuya-Kei was getting tons of American attention. Enough for Cibo Matto to be in a Buffy the Vampire episode to Pizzicato Five being in a Futurama episode. This feels like an album made by the weebs that would go to the Flea Market for VHS tapes of poorly dubbed anime who didn't understand the concept of the Shibuya-Kei genre. You could make the argument about it being shoegaze influenced but I feel nothing of it here. This is coming from a massive Dream Pop & Shoegaze fan. Just looking at the wiki page you see the lead singer wearing a Catherine shirt, which don't get me wrong Catherine is a great game. But it seems like a genuine weeb instead of something taking it to the next level like a Machine Girl.

nu metal panchiko and 90s vaporwave is crazy
What a vibe. I'm relaxing nicely to this. Smoked half a joint, headphones on, and listened to the whole album while melting into my chair.
Wish I had the same first experience, listened to this at a job I hate after 8 hours

thank you for this sm everytime I try to find their full album it’s remastered😔 you’re truly a savior dude
Dude I'm so proud I found this on my own before I learned about the lore I feel so cool
Same here, and I also feel cool lol
Thank you Whang for letting me know about this band!
Whang has introduced me to so much cool stuff I would have never known without him
I'm here cos of a Facebook page that posts album arts, and I'm going through their list.. AND GODDAMNNNNN THIS WAS A GEM!!!! 10000000/10
@@AluminumOrGlass gfy, no chance I'm ever touching your shit channel again.

Yo!
Late to the party lol

Just found this through a No More Lullabies mix here on RUclips! I love this so much! 🤍🖤
This was amazing and you can tell this has so much heart and passion and I love it. By the way I'm here from Whang!. Cool video. ^_^
This unmastered version sounds WAY more better. Such punchy and clean bass.. My DT 1770 pro fucking love that shit
Hey, accept my request to download this. Also, thank you for uploading this. Sounds better than their official CD pressing.
Perfect
Damn this is so much like radiohead I dig it
love it
this is not the "rotted" version of the album.
Comparing this to the remastered versions this sounds fine tho
Will do. This group deserves the clicks y'all!
@@AluminumOrGlass good point

Excuse me sir. We enjoy the gritty OG. Don't tell me how to ROCK!
@@TheTrickySnipe you sound like a complete nerd and this isn't a "gritty OG" it's just what the band sourced their masters from
Laputa is amazing, like how is it not more well known?
look at the lore
@@noniplier I know the lore but even after it was found why isn't it more well known
