Advent Calendar Door 8 | We like surprises, especially during Christmas Time. And while struggling, with our time issues, Masayuki, the brain behind the Japanese music weblog Music Forest, just sent us his Netaudio Charts by chance. Like his charts from last year, we are pleased and recommend you: Have a listen to what Tokyo Netaudio Underground likes to listen to.
Masayuki lives in Kanagawa, Japan near Tokyo. Next to his job working as an engineer everyday he listens and buys music. With his weblog Music Forest he introduces wonderful music aiming at Japan.

Nice collection! When I listened to "Be pleased my god" I was a little bit confused first because I somehow knew the track. It seems to be a remix of a track by The Strait of Anain from an EP on Kikapu (kpu097) that I listened to very often some time ago. Great in both versions! But strange that there is no hint on the Speed Chess release page.

Yo Trondheim! I went to check that track at Kikapu and you're right. Funny that Wes (Speed Chess) didn't told me that, perhaps he forgot. I'm going to confirm this with him and update the relase page accordingly.
Thanks for the heads up!
Peace,
Pedro.

Trondheim,
I'm flattered you know both of my releases. Strait of Anain was a project I did when I was in audio-school but I was never really happy with the first version of "Be Pleased My God" so I redid it. I didn't know whether to make a note and I acctually kind of forgot. Anyways, thanks for listening! I'm always looking for people to run tracks by so let me know if you'd be interested in giving me feedback.
