What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Also on the same label is a CD by Lullatone called 'The Bedtime Beat'. I think Lullatone have had things out on Audio Dregs before. Hey I'm trying to sound knowledgeable but the 'think' part of the last sentence means I've fallen flat on my face already. Here's some gentle electronic pop compromising of some tinkly tiblets, some delicate quirky beats, and some breathy child like vocals from singer Nagoya which promoted to me say in the office 'the singer sounds like she's about 6'. This genre of music is called micro pop which makes sense and sums it up perfectly as it somehow sounds tiny yet it's perfectly formed pop music with a childlike naivety which is surprisingly endearing. Being all British I'm going to say this is terribly quaint though half of it do sound like my daughters toys.

What the label says:

LULLATONE presents THE BEDTIME BEAT; a reverie and imaginative sleep-walk through the minimal avant-pop stylings of Nagoya's favourite bedroom tune-maestros. The Bedtime Beat is a vision of pop perfection, at just over 20 minutes long this LP confirms that minimal is certainly the new cute! Between the bath water solo of 'The Bathtime Beat', the incredible beatbox grooves care of Yoshima Tomida and some of the most elegant and evocative melodies (delicately recorded on tape) from Shawn Seymour, this record sets a new benchmark for micro-pop.
"In the world of Seymour and Tomida, cuteness is merely beauty of another kind." Pitchfork

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
