    @AcidBeast: O.K. and can I asking what title shows yours audio player (iTunes or winamp) when you are listenning to this music? It's interesting that's the part of this title is writen with "small" letters and the other with "big" letters. But I think that this is nothing speciall for japanese soundtracks. For example on the soundrack for "Sky Crawlers" we have some trackt writen with big and some with small letters. Anyway, thank you to you both (you & LethiaAletheia) for your help;)

    His solo work is also great. I've only begun listening but PLANT AQUARIUM has stood out the most for me, interesting sound.
