Genuinely thrilling. Two great musicians getting the best out of each other.

Stina Nordenstam – Dynamite (1996)
An alternative rock album that doesn't sound like much else. Very unique voice and guitar sound. https://img.discogs.com/37oWm9QBwHt9...58884.jpeg.jpg |

Arguably not his most complete album, but for me the most gripping and addictive

Jun Togawa's 1984 debut, whatever it's called (seen the title translated as anything from "Woman Hysteric" to "Ball Princess"), is one of the most exciting things you'll ever hear. One of those albums that are really varied stylistically but the force of the songwriting, voice and personality of the singer are such that it feels really cohesive. Dark, theatrical, high-intensity stuff. The closer (translated as “Insect Woman” or "Pupating Woman") is the only version of Pachelbel's famous Canon that doesn't sound kitschy to me.

Amazing album, I have it on vinyl.
She also recorded a punk version of the closing track somewhere :laughing: |
One of these days I'll try to take a deeper dive into her discography. I also know the second album, the one with Suki Suki Daisuki, which is excellent but maybe not quite on the same level as the debut.

I like the debut the best by far, followed by Kyokutou Ian Shouka. Unless you count this one live album she did with Tricomi, called 'Good girls get fed, bad girls get eaten' which I love a lot
