よくわかんないけど、おもしろっ!
anyway the main point of the nano-mugen compilation is to promote NANO-MUGEN FESTIVAL, which means AJIKAN LIVE. (with some of those bands up there, i think a lot of the english ones are going to japan.)
AHHHHHHHH I SWEAR I WILL SAVE MONEY AND RUN OFF TO JAPAN WHEN I START EARNING MY OWN MONEY AND GO TO NANO-MUGEN FES I WANTTTTTT. jap bands never ever come (solos are another story).

well, i actually only wanted to get yoru no call. but there aren't any decent 320 kbps tracks out there, so i ended getting the whole album. anyway, the tracklist goes like this:

2. Zak And Sara – Ben Folds
3. Stereotypes - Farrah
4. Oats We Sow – Gregory and the Hawk
5. Suburan Knights – Hard-Fi
6. Silver Birch – the HIATUS
7. Morning Sun – 清 竜人
8. SURRENDER – lostage
9. Everything Must Go – Manic Street Preachers

11. Weightless – Nada Surf
12. ピンホール – OGRE YOU ASSHOLE
13. ナイトフィッシングイズグッド – Sakanaction
14. 8823 – SPITZ
15. Magic Blue Van – Straightener
16. Rock Star -Understand- – The Young Punx
17. HELLO(蘇えるライブバージョン) – UNICORN
i used to resist the nano-mugen compilation because half of the tracks are in english, and the other half are jap bands i've never heard of before, other than spitz who has been mentioned on forums and the like.
but it's actually quite ok! some english bands like Farrah, the HIATUS and Nada Surf are not bad, they play the kind of alt rock i like. then there are the jap bands like SPITZ that caught my interest.
i just have to say this: the weirdest song is Rock Star -Understand- by The Young Punx, because it's a cover of ajikan's アンダースタンド, but in electropop style with a female singer, not really my kind of thing. and i can't make out what she is singing but it sounds like the original lyrics (the consonants match), yet i hear english at times. poor アンダースタンド, it used to be a high song.
i'm not putting this huge album in my mp3 (oh my pathetic mp3 storage space) but it's good when i want something new, and i might check out some of these bands, i need to widen my listening scope but i don't dare to and don't know where to start.
