Finally Free
Artist: Bentley Jones
Release Date: 12/1/10
Price: ???
Bentley Jones’s second album will finally see the light of day later this year. The title seems to be a reference to his split with former label, EMI Music Japan. Methinks he might be a tad bitter about his treatment by the label. Or perhaps he’s still upset by Sega releasing his songs on compilations w/o compensation. One thing is obvious: something shady went down in Tokyo. Take a listen to the seemingly autobiographical “Down in Tokyo”:
Fantastic track, if I say so myself. It’s a fine blend of modern house sounds with a tinge of Japanese instrumentation. Here’s hoping the rest of the album is just as good.

Darn, the early release list had a cover of “God of Romance,” but it’s nowhere to be found on the final list 🙁 Anyway, Avex have renewed the House Nation website, and you can go there to listen to samples.

Gossip Party! “The Best of Celeb Hits” R&B n’ House Mix
Release Date: 11/24/10
Price: 1886 yen
A hot new collection of house-flavored R&B covers from Manhattan Records Japan. The new productions are surprisingly well done, I’m particularly impressed by how good the vocalists are. Some of them come extremely close to the original performers, while others even outshine the originals (although, really, it’s not hard to sing better than Rihanna or Ke$ha). Mixed by DJ D. Loc.
The CD is a non-stop mix, but full versions of all 30 tracks are available on iTunes Japan for only 1500 yen.

Francfranc presents Snow Crystal -The Best of Christmas Party Mix-
Release Date: 11/10/10
Price: 2500 yen
What better way to celebrate Halloween than with news of a Christmas CD? Snow Crystal compiles Christmas standards performed by some of the hottest house artists in Japan including Q;indivi, note native, and Jazzin’ park. Disc 1 features a non-stop mix by the omnipresent DJ Fumi*Yeah!, while the second bonus disc has full versions of 3 songs.
Samples can be found at Francfranc’s official site.
No “O Holy Night” makes me sad. 🙁 Still, the samples sound incredibly promising. I’m absolutely in love with the lounge version of “Happy X’mas (War Is Over)” and the album has an incredible amount of variety.
