lecca - City Caravan (30 July 2008) torrent

I am uploading this album for reasons I describe in the description for Gollbetty’s Betty’s Buggy, which you can find [url=//www.nyaa.se/?page=separate&user=227062]on my user page[/url]. In the past I uploaded lecca’s eponymous debut album and talked about her there, so I’ll try not to repeat myself; but those of you who do me favor of actually reading this stuff I write (thanks!) know that I usually chatter on and on anyways.

In my opinion City Caravan has the most interesting structure of all of lecca’s albums. You will notice from the track list that it not only has a prologue and epilogue, but also four tracks directly related to the title itself. At first glance they appear to come in the wrong order: what should be the first song is the final track, ‘City Caravan II’ comes first, and ‘City Caravan III’ is split in half by another song. It is all intentional though. More than that, unlike any other lecca album, it establishes a melodic theme that runs throughout the entire CD, book-ended by the opening and closing tracks. This type of musical thematic design was a first for lecca, and to date remains her only album with such an over-arching form.

I also want to point out something that always makes me laugh. The lyrics of the song ‘BELLE EPOQUE’, featuring Diggy-MO’, crack me up. Specifically, fifty-four seconds into the song lecca says in English: “Let’s make a hot shit.” It does not sound like it because she slurs the last word, but that is what’s printed in the lyric booklet that comes with the album. It always makes me laugh because I can’t understand what point she was trying to make or what she thought that contributed to the song.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the album! Requests are welcome as always, and my thanks to everyone who downloads these albums I rip because I love sharing my passion for Japanese music.
