We are proud to announce a new compilation album, "*Music for Baby!". Will be released in December. When babies are listening to sound, what do babies feel? There are many kinds of music & sound in this world. But most of all relaxation CDs for baby contain only soft classic music... However, babies must want to listen to cool music more in fact!! This is a compilation album for such babies. It's the album which interesting and stimulative artists (from DAT Politics to Toshiya Tsunoda) participate to. We hope that babies grow healthily with this stimulative album. Hi, baby! Come on and listen to it!! (Of course adult can enjoy this album, too : -) about *Music for Baby!

Imagine Michael Nyman and his friends walking past a Belgrade cafe where a strange new folk music was emanating from inside... Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins, Bella Union)
We are proud to announce a new release from amorfon(July. 25)! Serbia may be known for it's brass bands, but that's not all! Look out for a new & unique musical style that's coming up now, known as "The Psychedelic Folk Ensemble." This Belgrade-based band, started in the '90s, was initially influenced by such artists as Joy Division, New Order, Cocteau Twins, Minutemen, and R.E.M.. But after releasing one album, they switched their loud-rock style to acoustic, and incorporating traditonal melodies, came up with a new formula. With cool guitars & bass, beautiful string melodies and fresh female vocals... "Balkan melodies" meet "modern arrangements", to create some refreshingly enjoyable guitar pop music. Like a breeze coming through a window, and perfect for a picnic on a warm sunny day... The name of the band is Cinc!!

Now in Japan, new copyright law is prepared in the Parliament. It includes limitation about imported CDs from abroad. At first, it was explained that it was for the prevention for the cheap pirate CDs coming from some Asian countries. But now, it is revealed that it includes normal imported CDs from USA & Europe! We love music. This limitation for information is so stupid and we protest this plan. Now some musicians and critics are doing protest activities in Japan. This is the one of the website(Japanese).
