Diet

My favourite KHJ album, making me glad I bought all of them at once.

#1 Hjônzang 9

Fun funky style to kick off the album. But this as the second single? Not the choice I'd have made...

#2 Tankhal (acoustic) 10

Oo my favourite! Made even more magnificent by the lovely 'graphy Marjut improvised for it. I think I prefer this version more each day. This is also my overall favourite KHJ track.

#3 Nappynsarang 9½

Why not this as a single? It's fun and melodic with a powerful beat. And the title is good.

#4 Jekam 7

Token slow song. Far behind the three great ballads from Wild Beauty. Forgettable.

#5 Napota Nôl 8½

Starts frightenigly. But what does the title mean? "Boarder Than You"? Wait, what awas the comparative suffix? If it was -pota, it could mean "More Me Than You", which would already make sense.

#6 Ôrym 9½

This might be my third favourite after the two Tankhals. Kinda rocky, kinda electronic. Someone called this album eclectic. Maybe it is, but maybe that's also what I like.

#7 Sunzong 9

One of the first Korean songs in which I recognised words. Clearly she speaks about meeting a friend.

#8 Tankhal (dance) 10

Ooh yeah, more of the good thing is always a good thing. Hey, this might even be one of the best remixes I've ever heard! I hadn't thought it that way before.

#9 Theizi 7½

Pretty nice ballad, though not special in any way.

#10 Kynjô 8½

One for Sorrow? Not exactly, it was just the water sounds that caused the instant association. First there try to be some latin influences but in the end there aren't many of them. Pleasant afternoon music, though.

#11 Nika Saramini! 8½

I always seem to forget these post- Tankhal tracks. Not very different from the previous one, works much better in the remixed form found in Diet (track 14).

#12 Kômi 7

Is this the remake of a popular song? There should've been better choices to cover. It's only here where the album starts to lapse.

#13 Kytê Unapwa 7

Mostly harmless.

#14 Diet

It's so natural for the CD with the best remix to have the best megamix as well. Track 11 makes a surprising (and surprisingly significant) appearance. Some clips are way too long, especially Napota Nôl.
