Coltemonikha
18 February 2007
Had this a little while but haven't had chance to write about it until now. I should start by saying how stylish the case is. The pure white background, bordered with silver detail and inset with a silver silhouette of a chandelier is joy to look at. The whole thing is made mainly out of card, with the only plastic being the bit that holds the CD. Inside we find a picture of the duo which make up Coltemonikha. On the left we have a lovely picture of Sakai Kate, and on the right (covered up by the CD /laugh) we have a rather gloomy looking Nakata Yasutaka. The lyrics are written on what seems to be very thick grease-proof paper. Obviously it's not of course, but that's what it looks like. This is stored folded up under the picture of Sakai in a little cut-out section.
I've listened through this mini album quite a few times now and I've come to the conclusion that half the songs are genius, and half the songs are mediocre. The most notable songs are 'Soratobu Hikari', 'Communication' (the song I bought the album for) and 'CLM'. All three tracks are incredibly catchy and remind me very much of Daft Punk's music. My favourite has to be 'Communication' - it's still as good as when I first heard it on an internet radio station. The rest of the songs are very sickly-sweet and don't really warrant too many playbacks. I did, however, find myself humming 'Yum Yum Yummy' a lot so that song is borderline. Overall, I would rate this mini album a 7/10. Some very good songs on it, but let down by the rest.
