Genre: Jpop/Techno/
Electronica/Jazz/Piano
Three things often come to mind when one comes across a taste of Fay ray that gets them craving for more.

1.Pretty face
2.good voice
3.eloquent English

I have to agree Fay is hot & sophisticated looking at the same time.
It's only natural for her to have good English,because she grew up in America.
Now in days Fayray is basically a jazz musician,and writes her own music,but back in the day she used to sing to some of the most original dance tunes I've ever heard.
Fayray used to be produced by Daisuke Asakura 浅倉大介, from
the band known as Iceman.
To all you anime & videogame nerds out there if you've ever played a game called Persona Be your true mind,Innocent sin & Eternal Punishment or Castlevania Symphony of the night,I highly suggest that you pick this disc up now pronto.
Craving is to dance music what GDX's "II face" is to gangsta rap.
GDX get's you swaying your head from side to side,while Fayray's craving just get's you moving.

I can definitely see "Same' night Same,place being well received in some underground dance circles.
They're both a fresh breath of air to both of the genres that have mostly gone stale over the years.
Mostly because of the unique & original beats. Fayray also deserves a nod,because her dance tunes actually have some decent lyrics to them when compard to most ohter dance tunes.
Every song in this disc is pretty damn good,though it's practically because every single song was originally released as a single first with the exception of Craving & Untouchable girls.
Powder veil one of my favorite tracks seems to be sampled from a Madonna song,but it's done so well that it sounds like one of those BGM tracks in the old Castlevania games.
Well enough about that If you're a fan of Fay Ray or love to listen to videogame music this is one good purchase you can't pass up.
Though it is mighty hard to actually come near a copy of this disc since it's out of print.
Luckily I hooked my ass up with an overseas taiwan version.

Hikaru Nishida 西田ひかる "As Pure As"
Click here to download
genre: Jpop/Techno/Electronica
This song was produced by Marc Panther from Globe.
I'd like to describe this song, but I can't as I've never heard anything like it before.
It does sound a bit similar to Ellis's theme song from Battle Arena Toshinden 2.
So you may want to download this joint if you're feeling a bit nostalgic about Toshinden's sountrack.

I'm typically a harsh judge, but I truly do believe that these two products deserve 10's.

Fighting Layer video that uses "As Pure As" as the bgm.


Bonus Rarity Topdrunkee exclusive:
IZ "Love Drug"
click here to download this pimp shit from the Drunk's library.
Genre: R&B
Behold these are the faces & voices of those sexy sounding women all sing almost every single hook for the g-funk group known as DS455.


IZ are Rica & Emily. Rica is the girl with the afro puffs.
She has the lower T-boz (TLC) sounding voice.
Emily is the girl with the long straight hair.
She has the smoother sounding voice.

While this album is pretty good it suffers from lack of production values.
I'd like to see how much better they could pull off if DJ PMX (from Ds4 "double fucking" 5) ever produced an album for them.
