I wanted to post something but I didn't think I had any cd's handy. Lo and behold I have Yukari Fresh's _Cityrama_ tucked away in my backpack. I've already reviewed _Erik_ and _New Years Fresh_ "here":http://mog.com/fistula_spume/blog_post/113430 and "here":http://mog.com/fistula_spume/blog_post/113420. _Cityrama_ came out in 2000 in between those two albums. I absolutely love Yukari Fresh. This album is a combination of remixes, cover songs, and Yukari working with others to make different takes. Really fun album. It's nice to hear her music reworked like this. It's like they put a cute little hamster in a blender and poured out an even cuter hamster. Sounds impossible but it works! Hope you enjoy the tracks.

You are gonna make me buy this Sam! Loving them, damn you, lol! I recall one of your other posts & I liked that cd as well. Thanks for your persistence & devotion to them it's paying off, you've won me over.

Oh my god. Berliner Weisse is a lovely drink btw. It's a weird light beer with syrup... either green (woodruff syrup), or red (raspberry syrup). It's lovely in summer.
I SO wish Crash could have heard this! And had some wunderbare Berliner Weisse mit Schuss... I hope they serve it in heaven :(
(Oops... ) - Great tune, great band that I don't know. Good thing you're over there in the US teaching me about my city :)

I was wondering what Berliner Weisse was. I guess I could've googled it. Sounds fun. I do love me some beer. Glad you like it micki. I think the band that's playing the cover version of this Yukari song is called The Pop Tarts. Your city is more fun to learn about! Nothing fun in Fayetteville Arkansas.
August glad I could convert. I'm running out of cd's by her that I own. I think I have one other album. I need her newer stuff. Japanese albums are so hard to come by. I figured I would wear someone down.

I just looked them up on Amazon.com & it's not available, which is unusual that they don't have it. Could you upload this to M when you get the time(no hurry)?
fistula spume says
Sure. I'll have to do it tomorrow. It's import only so it's hard to find. I had a Japanese friend that got me a lot of this kind of stuff.

this sounds really cool, man. i got 2 albums by them, thanks to your advice on those previous posts, "yukari's perfect" (1997) & "cook some dishes" (1998) but i still havent had the time to listen to them properly. i need those 3 you talk about above too, i can see that.
another good post, sam.
fistula spume says
Cool. Glad I inspired you to track her down. I think she's pretty neat. I got "Cook Some Dishes" but I haven't found "Yukari's Perfect" yet. A lot of those are on "New Years Fresh". I want to track down "Trefoils Hat" and her electro clash album under the moniker Yukari Rotten.
