millstones - セカイカタログ (Sekai Catalog)​
 
I'm typically very wary of compilations, detest them to be frank. Just like with AVTechNO!'s recent "Thank you pack", however, this album is a more than worthwhile investment for even those who own practically all of the artist's prior output. The completely new and simply outstanding songs aside, just like on the aforementioned "Thank you pack", all previously released songs have been retouched or even heavily reworked, as well as remixed and remastered – well. millstones has gone as far as to include version numbers for each song in their title to designate which iteration of the song we are dealing with. Japanese diligence and dedication is such an admirable thing. I've never heard these songs sound this good and I'm so happy I decided to give the album its first audition on my 803 Diamonds because my gosh this album sounds phenomenal. As an added bonus, like all special editions released by UMAA, the packaging quality is among the very best I've ever seen. All the artwork made for this release looks absolutely spectacular. I could not be more happier with this purchase.

I'm a big fan of Suzuki.  Magistral work he did on the cantatas and the mass in B- although for that last one I'm more impressed by the instrumental rendition(refreshing new and dynamic approach) than with the vocals.

I got one of these as a free sampler at Barnes & Noble, of all places, and loved it. I was casually a Bonamassa fan already, but that really made me appreciate him more.
