"if you're getting into J-pop and are pondering purchase of sushi 3003 and 4004: sushi 4004 is better. sharper, cooler mixes... creative, retro feel... 3003 is pretty rough, but 4004 -- especially with a number of cool samba-beat tracks -- is DEFINITELY worth owning."

A pale follow up to Sushi 3003

"Whereas the previous compilation in this series, Sushi 3003, explored unusual and melodic landscapes and was entirely wonderful, Sushi 4004 has it's feet mostly stuck on the dance floor and usually in a pretty dull way. Some of the tracks are plain boring (Midnight Bowlers - "Bowlers In Space" immediately springs to mind). Still it's not a total loss, The Fantastic Plastic Machine are there with a groovy number "S'il Vous Plait", Kahimi Karie gets a look in with "Alcohol" (a lenghty but stunning track from her incredible CD "L'Arme De Crocodile") and there's a High Llamas remix of Cornelius' "The Microdisneycal World Tour". Oh! Penelope strike gold with "Lait Au Miel" which sounds even more fab when placed against Takako Minekawa's bland "Fantastic Cat" (the comparisons to Kahimi Karie are undeserved). The Pizzicato Five donate a pretty uninteresting collage of a bunch of their songs entitled "Lesson 3003 (Part 1)". Much as I hate to dis a great label like Bungalow, all in all, this is not a patch on Sushi 3003. Sushi 5005 anyone?"

EXCELLENT
