Sonido Uzumaki

Trevor’s Music Related label (now sporting a new site) is doing it again with an interesting new release. This time it’s a compilation CD going by the title SONIDO UZUMAKI, and it features a mix of Japanese and non-Japanese artists alike. Again, you can download an MP3 preview track, and that’s what got me hooked. I’ve just ordered the album (only US$10). Following is the blurb from the site, as well as the track listing.
