Operatik Aria’s Punky electro pop Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
For a good idea what Aria’s music sphere is like, simply think J-pop electro band Perfume. With a CD cover showing a synthetic looking Aria as if she could possibly be HAL's (from 2001) favorite girlfriend, and some stylophone type synthesized vocals, all bring to mind the popular electro J-pop trio (although I don’t think Perfume dated HAL). First song “Barbie Barbie” (track 1) brings Aria’s regular synthesized vocal within a upbeat Perfume like disco electro dance beat. “Change My Will” (track 2) though is a somewhat more radical Perfume sound, shifting to a fast (very faassst) rapid slab of techno, as if you were racing across a sci-fi barren landscape at full throttle in a futuristic hover racer. It’s energy electro punk and the most interesting track on this mini album. Rapid-fire electro drum beats, sci-fi sounding techno and Aira’s machine girl distant like singing, put this more within indie electro dance. “Freedom Star” (track 3) brings back the more familiar Perfume sound with rhythmic slabs of synth pop beats. Both sadly yearning and upbeat. More computerized robot vocal from Aira, but quite cute though. “Happiness Land” (track 4) is a slower mid temp beat with a 60s and Motown melody materializing amidst the main electro pop and drum beat.

The rest of this album comprises of remixes and mp3 mastering versions. “Freedom Star (Toyko F*nk ade Likkk)” (track 5) gives the original another unusual remix treatment of blistering synth sounds, gritty electronics and a funky indie sound. Some mad vocal loops and dubs make for a quite, well, mad sounding mix. “Change My Will (Modular Modular remix) (track 6) begins with stuttering drum beat and pulsating bass drones all getting together to make for a even more insane dance beats to the original fast version. Techno underground type house mixes and dance club electronics.

Interesting mini album. Certainly for anyone who likes Perfume. This CD isn’t a bad starting place from Aira’s electro circuitry album catalog either, with the fast manic ‘punky’ synth sound of “Change My Will” as a good highlight here (and a step away from the usual Perfume pace), and a good reason to try this. Packaging is a single sized slim CD in an acetate transparent sleeve with some robotic Persocom pics of Aria.
