Want to let the world know your favorite remix artists? Think a certain song/circle is underappreciated? Looking for that person who appreciates Sepette Remix #37 as much as you do? Well here ya go! Just remember no download links, buy the albums, etc.
Thanks Nobu for a great topic!
Youtube/Nico is fine

=================================================
Well, I haven't finished listening to these albums. I first got interested in Cytokine because:
They had a very good song in Syrufit's "Where is Love" where they produced Track 12 "
Luvstruck"
I have not heard anything like it, and I liked it a lot! I couldn't stop listening to the preview before the album was released. The music was excellent, but the vocal totally ruins it. Why? It is so unlike Mei Ayakura to not have a good song!
Well, the song's lyrics are entirely written in English, so there's a good part of your answer, but Mei's voice sounds terribly drowned out at times.
Well anyway, then I noticed that Cytokine released "Voice Blinded Color" which was pretty cool~
...I'll continue this topic later. My opinion on Voice Blinded Color is here:
http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,5484.msg410280.html#msg410280In short: The Tower is a pretty good album, but as you can tell by the cover art, there's a lot of BYAKUREN in thar~
Some songs will sound plain, others will sound too dull~
I've had way too many remixes of Byakuren's theme. Kind of like too many mixes of Flan's theme... it gets old...
But there's good music in there. Especially D. Watt's "Nuclear Fusion Remix," that was awesome, and aki's voice is not bad!
It might take a while getting used to. Her voice kind of has the same "piercing your ear" element that many loli-vocalists have, but she's not a loli vocalist by any means. I'm just so used to listening to something more like Aki Misawa, Misato, etc. Her voice is good, though.
-----------------
I haven't listened to Bifurcation enough to be able to say an opinion about it.
I do think you should give these two a try, though. Cytokine isn't bad, in fact, they're pretty good
//////////////////////////////////////////////
What else I'm listening to:
ALiCE's EMOTiON's: Tois Rouge
Alstroemeria Record's: Trois Noir
Sound Online's: Trois Bleu
Sound Online's: NOSTALGIA
Sound Online's: Hydrangea
Urgh. This album could be garbage, but I'd be forced to change my music tastes because of that wonderful album cover.
Alstroemeria Record's of Memories actually turned out very good. The only not-so-good songs are those containing loli vocals.
Music <3
Can't thank those doujin artists enough
