Post-rock. Matryoshka is a Japanese duo formed by producer Sen and female vocalist Calu. This was released on the excellent Virgin Babylon records' label. It's pretty much perfect, if you like Post-rock/shoegaze/ambient or even a bit of classical in the slightest, then download this, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Last of my batch of Hosono albums for a while, this album has a mix of a lot of styles and sounds from across the world, it says on the cover "Omni Sound" and "The globe watch tour" and it certainly does live up to that. Few of the tracks are even sung in Arabic and French, it definitely does have that world music feel, though still keeping that signature Hosono sound.

Another album from electronic pop master Hosono, typical Hosono wackiness with this one, only 6 tracks long but it's very enjoyable. "Body Snatchers" is the stand out track for me, ends with a lovely ambient track "Dark side of the Star."
(This here is a special mix of Body Snatchers but it's almost identical to the version on the album)
