listened to three albums

vamp by akina nakamori (1994)
kel tinariwen by tinariwen (1992)
apryl fool (self-titled) (1969)

since vamp was only four tracks long, it didn't take a while to listen to it in full. i enjoyed the last two tracks, but i don't think akina's vocals fit the first two. i'd rate this album 6/10, since i haven't listened to the songs very many times after the initial listen.

i actually really enjoyed kel tinariwen!! the lyrics carry a lot of weight (which i like) and the songs themselves were good.

apryl fool... i listened to this album because i thought "well, i like chu kosaka... and haruomi hosono... might as well listen to their first real album!" i did not enjoy this. there's a few tracks i like, but in general... dislike. chu kosaka's vocals weren't bad tho, and i did put sunday in my playlist.
