…bought from (L-R) Tower Vinyl, Ella Records, Flash Disk Ranch and Siam Time, plus Waltz and Coconuts Disk. I skipped Disk Union and Kankyo because I’d already exceeded my packing (and spending) limit.

I’ve eased right back in, so will you. Yeah, Glow World was a low-key release, never streaming. All the tracks are similar but what a vibe. It’s a bit “Bladerunner ambient” because it fizzes like that rain-soaked market where Deckard eats noodles. Tokyo on cover but static and hum feels more Osaka.
