I got symbol from you I think and then my computer crashed, so I haven't listened too much to it yet, but what I heard was wondertastic!

I think "Grinning Cat" was kinda fresh. Nice and varied. Not heard anything else though.

I got "Symbol" following your recommendation......... some of the tracks are great ("The Dying Black Swan", "Long Long Silk Bridge")......... it's a diificult thing to sample classical tracks and incorporate them into a modern electronic framework, easy to make it sound weak and glib, but this album does it well.......

yeah, he's great at doing that..but i can't help not to think it goes over the edge sometimes..some songs seem a bit pompous even..the first of his albums im unsure about. i love some songs, but i wish he kept it more subtle..

Symbol is really strange, I'm not sure I like it or what. Does he always use samples like that?

well, usually he sues them in a much more subtle way..he overblown it this time i fear..though not in all songs..
you should check out sakura if you don't know it yet..one of my all time favourite albums.

i have mixed feelings about symbol - i imagine people who didn't know him by now would like it, but it's a bit disappointing for the old fans..
