i look at it less as a diluting of her sound into the chamber folk ensemble than a proliferation within it, which makes it no less Aoba than before, but now with a greater array of voices adding depth and color to her vision

that's a fair assessment of how her *sound* has changed (including the stuff she's done live since), but half these tracks are shrapnel. everything pre-Sagu Palm (excepting Pilgrimage) is pretty superficial by her standards, think she has far further to go with chamber folk

Mahoro and back will always be my fav Ichiko - I dig the chamber folk stuff most of the time, but I just think she had a special take on the singer-songwriter sound that resonates with me more

it's hard to beat stuff like 0 and 0% for me, but i also love that she's expanding her palette and wanting to try out new things. windswept is not my fave, but still one of the prettiest albums I've ever heard

Ok, 0% is in fact better than this I repent my heresy but the vibes here are unparalleled

Has this always been known as 'Adan no Kaze' on here, or am I going insane?

I don't remember the 'no kaze' bit, hmm weird

it has had three titles: localised (Windswept Adan), transliterated (Adan no Kaze) and original (アダンの風)
and I could care less which it is, as long as it's not some jackass repeat editing it to kanji and kana
