Hiromi - Voice
« on: June 08, 2011, 10:13:29 PM »
Technically it was just released in North America, although the Japanese version has been out for months.  I know some of you out there have picked this up already.  What do you think?  On first listen I felt it was very impressive, might be she's put out something to challenge Spiral and Time Control in quality.  We'll see, I hate to make definitive judgment statements on albums until I've had them for a good long time.  I'd be shocked if it ended up in the lower half of her albums as I rank them, though.  Fantastic first impression.

Beyond Standard had been a bit of a letdown, but it seems like she's just getting better since then.  Can't wait to give this disc more spins while I'm travelling, she's right there as one of my favourite artists and this was my most anticipated release of the year, probably.

Easily my favourite album I've heard from her! The songs are a bit more cool and cohesive than before but she still gets to show off her chops. Love it, one of my favourite albums of the year so far!

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Saw Hiromi in London last night. She played Silver Lining and Sonicwonder material.

I had tickets to see her at the last show of the North American leg of this tour, and couldn't go.  I am still raging about that.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I had another event when she was playing in New York about a month ago. Too bad to have missed her. Sonic Wonderland is great.

She's back in the States at the end of March 2024. About a solid week in New York!

She fully blew me away. Shredded hard for about 3 hours. That variety and complexity in the flesh was just bananas to witness. :heart

I once missed her show because of work. Will definitely attend her show
