Spine: (Japanese) Once again the breath of angels.... "Angel In Heavy Syrup's" awaited second album. Comments: This all-girl psychadelic music group reminds me alot more of Sonic Youth, then Shone. Knife. The music is raw, but appealing, and the vocals are breathy whispers, the lyrics barely comprehendable, which in this case is almost an asset. You're not going to hear these girls at the local karaoke club. Good, but all too short at 33 minutes. Grade: B+ Other Comments: Bought at Aron's Records (LA) new for about $28.

Hohoemi ni Kanpai 4:34 Comments: I listened to the third song and it started with the words "yume no tsuzuki wa...", so I assume it is not a misprint. I don't really know this group very well, but assume this is the right song. I also don't have Anzen Chitai IV with which to compare. (Kenji B.
