referencing Genny Haniver, CD, Album, GEIST 014CD

This is probably the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life. Asano somehow creates music unlike anything made my man before or since. Incredibly complex production, but simple and elegant at the same time. It really has a life all it's own. No one uses sounds like this either, so soft, and with intense individuality.
This CD took 5 years to make, but it sounds like it could've taken 1000.

To sum up how I feel about this album; I cannot beleive an animal as crude as man made something this evolved and beautiful. I can't say enough good things about this man or his music. This music is beyond dreams.

Sidenote:
This is very similar to the music he made for the Doshin The Giant videogame for Nintendo 64 (which only came out in Japan and the U.K.).
