An excellent series that is worth your time and patience.

The characters are real and believable, the cultural setting sufficiently resptful as well as acknowledging how bonkers Japanese TV can be, and more than enough surprises about crime and technology.

I would have liked more reveal of Suzie Sakamoto’s past, however.

Still, far more good than bad here.

Highly recommended.

Previte Chandler finds him in collaboration with #KnoxChandler, who’s acted as an arranger or sideman for Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, Cyndi Lauper, Siouxsie and the Banshees, REM, and The Golden Palominos." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/

Chaosbay - Are You Afraid?
(Progressive-Metalcore / Circular Waves Records)

"Wer die Jungs von Chaosbay bereits kennt, weiß, dass sie ihre ganz eigene Art haben, harten Metalcore mit progressiven Elementen zu kombinieren. Die Songs sind nicht nur technisch anspruchsvoll, sondern gleichzeitig auch unfassbar eingängig und blieben mir jedenfalls noch lange im Kopf hängen. Genau das zeichnet die Band aus:"
