1. Computer City
A very awesome track, Computer City really exploits Nakata’s talent with synths and such. After the chorus they go into the verses with an acoustic guitar playing an awesome part. We don’t see the girls get their own parts, but they sound together even with the vocoder helping them out. The song doesn’t really enter any strange areas, but does stay in a safe area, repeating mostly everything in the song twice. Which kinda annoyed me a little, the only different between the verses is a matter of 2 words ~Kumo and Kioku~. They could’ve done soo much more with the song.
2. Perfume
Not shaking off their indies mood, Perfume is a fast-acting track. With the beeps and synths acting like it was Vitamin Drop pt. 2, this song actually has the girls singing individually. They sound more or less like they did then. I really did enjoy the fun they had with the track but Nakata, that’s a little too much synth. Hmph, this song was a bit too long-winded too…the ending had a thumping beat til it faded……huh?
Perfume’s 2nd major single was an odd one with serious Computer City and playful Perfume, I kinda found it so unusual. I think I’ll stic with the next single though.
