| 5.0 classic | Baphomet | June 11th 11 |
Two songs in and this is already a classic. Wait; what do you mean this is only two songs long?!

It's like Japanese Godspeed. In other words, it's a dude with a laptop being dramatic as fuck with his glitches and orchestral sounds spinning a masterful yarn where emotions flow in line like streams to rivers and rivers to bays. It makes me want women to weep for me by the grip of a god around my throat, sword clutched in my hand as I die. I got a handjob to Stella once. True story.

More people need to hear this, this is near musical perfection. Stella is simply put, one of the greatest songs ever made. The instrumentation is pure bliss, and never before has violin sounded so beautiful, uplifting, dark, and evoked so much emotion. The prodcution is perfect, crisp and clear. Don't let the length of the tracks put you off, you will slip into them as softly and willingly as you do your bed after a hard day's work.

You know when you're listening to the radio and you go out of range from a particular channel, and
a second channel begins randomly taking over the first? 'Program Music I' does that with modern
classical and post-rock, randomly glitching between the two, as well as generally combining them
at points. Both lengthy tracks reach their high points when their string instruments combine
with up-beat drumming to create a very uplifting, 'dancey' vibe.

So many of the superfluous electronic noises disrupt the gorgeous music that comes up throughout the album. "Enjoy Eternal Bliss" is not subjected to unnecessary sounds and still sounds incredible, which makes me think of how good "Program Music I" could have been. However, the electronic sounds do represent one of Daisuke's trademarks, and I can understand their purpose. I just don't think the classical music works well with the electronics in this album.

Beautiful and full of lush and interesting sounds. Don't think this one will ever get old...

Stella might be the best song ever created by man. At least the best post-rock song.

Beautiful, Exciting, Harmonious, Confusing, Scary, Majestic; Everything a good post-rock album should be. I see this becoming a 5 very quickly. 4.4/5

An amazingly complex combination of simple parts. It attempts to be something new, and it's a great effort.

Very good album, in some parts perhaps spammed with glitches and electronic details.

I 5'd this about 20 seconds into Stella. Yeah, it's that good.

When I first downloaded this album, I thought something had gone wrong. Why were there only two songs? that's ridiculous, that's a demo, not a fucking album. Then I noticed the length of these two songs, both over 25 minutes. I put off listening to this album for awhile (considering I never really had an hour to sit down and actually listen intently) but when I finally did I loved it. It's a very odd album, but every second is worth the listen.

This album is quickly becoming a favorite of mine; although it didn't astonish me on my first listen. It requires somewhat of a calmer mood I think. Stylistic and melodic ... Kind of reminds me (distantly) of Mono+WEG Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder

This is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Who knows, it might even be a 5 one day.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. It keeps the listeners attention throughout and remains fresh upon multiple listens.

Kashiwa Daisuke is a japanese composer most known for this album, the two track "Program Music I". While Daisuke has never enjoyed any type of mainstream acclaim (in america anyway), this album is normally considered his opus, and has gathered quite a cult following. Program Music is actually a term for music thats sole purpose is to serve as a score for some type of imagery or film, however, to my knowledge, no film has used any of the music Daisuke has composed here. Instead, I've found that once I get trapped within Daisuke's dense and beautiful compositions, colorful imagery spontaneously combusts out of every corner. Daisuke made most of the music here digitally, but I still find the combination of luscious strings, Daisuke's wonderfully melodic piano playing and haunting glitches and spliced vocal samples to all come together perfectly to create the most divine instrumental music I've ever heard in my life. This album is literally flawless, engaging, intense, varied and absolutely beautifully put together. While Daisuke will probably never top this, it's still good to know that he has the capacity to do great things, and his originality shines through on here moreso than with any other artist on any other album. "Program Music I" is a dazzling piece of art that is just as beautiful musically as it is colorfully.

This album was nearly impossible to find, simply because it is not well known or popular whatsoever. Consisting of only two tracks, "Program Music I" is not like anything I have ever heard, and manages to tastefully/brilliantly combine electronic elements into new age classical music. This band is phenomenal, and so is this album.
