re:mote voices

from tokyo to niagra - i had seen mention of a new tujiko noriko album in passing, but no details. i just new it wasn't on mego like her second album, and the following 12" which was comprised of tracks from the rare first album as well as live pieces. so when i came across this third CD in the Dense record shop i picked it up. from tokyo to niagra is released on the tomlab label, which might be reflected more by the sound of this disc? less fractured electronics like the mego material, and perhaps more straight forward in an electronic pop sense. still, strongly melodic, with tujiko's winsome japanese lyrics across those. only listened to once so far, so need more time to see what i think of it.
