Honestly...i listen to music on shuffle and very rarely listen to an album in full at any given time. Of course I ~may~ do it, but more often than not I'm on shuffle.

So to me coherence is more of a bonus than anything else. Having an album full of strong album tracks that work on their own is a bit more important for me. Where as a completely coherent album can sometimes be same-same and the tracks feel a bit watered down and there's no way to make each one particularly good in its own right.

Being able to achieve both would be ideal, of course haha.

The problem was rather simple to solve. They almost had it with the CMJK remix, which would've flowed rather well with the rest of the album if shortened a bit. Dunno why they didn't think of that.

Yeah, exactly. That's why I don't mind some Japanese artists nowadays not releasing singles before their albums. I used to think it was a bad idea since they wouldn't be promoting their releases properly, but right now I couldn't care less about sales. I feel like it's easier for an artist to feel 'free' without the need to release singles to please the public (a up-tempo song for the Summer, a ballad for the Winter, and so on).

Been obsessed with the Ayu mix 7 special non stop disc recently. So good!

When you are not sure about how to respond after these two awkward jokes, so you try to start a new conversation, but cannot think of something else than 'Man I have been into SURREAL recently.'

SURREAL is a classic. People always get so surprised when I mention when it was released after they hear it.

I love surreal and evolution so much.
I was watching a concert the other day... Rock n Roll circus and I was trying to remember the last time she performed the songs as NOT a combo.

And then I was like, but when did this madness start? I found it... 2003/4 concert and the audience didn't seem that interested in it. LOL

I believe it started at CDL03-04/AT03-04 but was on and off at the time. Looking back at all of her setlists... it seems like it shows up more than it actually does, but it does show up a lot, at least once a year in some form.

I think the last time she sang them both separately in the same concert was at CDL 07-08. It's a good combo but I really want to see SURREAL alone again. Been almost 10 years.

I wonder if they'll release a new remix album someday, would love that. I'm more excited of that idean than I would for new music actually.

Wooow, I didn't realise it had been that long! The first time I heard Surreal was actually as part of the Evolution combo in AT 03/04 and I remember not being able to get it out of my head!

Surreal is one of the songs that turned me into a diehard fan. As soon as I heard that piano I knew it was going to be a special song.
I have the Surreal single in my Ayu collection.
I've been wondering lately about the Duty album. Is it out of print?
When I look at stores online it is listed as out of stock or out of print, but the rest of her albums are fine.
