      One of the best sounding records in my collection. (1st pressing). Mix is so dynamic, synths and vocals pop really well.

        Let's face it: Yukimi Nagano could sing the phone book and it'd be marvelous. So on her third outing with Little Dragons, RITUAL UNIONS, it's no surprise that her vocals take center stage. On the title track, they swing from vulnerable on the chorus to strong on the verses, showing off her versatility. The accompaniment, for the most part on the album, is more sparse, as on "Little Man, which showcases her vocals even more. Or, as on "Brush the Heat," it can take the high tones to contrast her rich alto. But that doesn't stop some electronic funk to come out on "Shuffle A Dream" and "Please Turn" or the mid-tempo house beats to guide the mellow "Crystalfilm." There's a hint of R&B in her voice at the start of "Precious," though the instruments are almost abstract and soon shift into more upbeat territory, while "Summertearz" pokes its head into some tropical dub. "When I Go Out" is even more abstract, processing Nagano's vocals into a fluttering, vibrating thing, and "Seconds," the final track takes a simple drum track and lets her float above it. An extremely charming album.
