Did you know?
You can listen to VIOLET UK from a web site, “My Space” in US.
The music covers four songs; 3 songs and a file in precise, that includes “SEX & RELIGION (new version)” released earlier in “iTunes”.
Yoshiki’s friend in New York had longed to listen to VIOLET UK, and Yoshiki put up his music on “My Space”. Then its reputation has wide spread by word of mouth.
The majority of people who access to the site are from US, EU and China, who know nothing of either VIOLET UK or Yoshiki. He hated the idea that people judge “VIOLET UK” by listening to only one song. For this reason he added three more songs to it.
The highest rank VIOLET UK marked momentarily was the 4th place in the played-number-ranking of the site, where as many as 3.8 million bands are tightly introduced.
The logo of VIOLET UK stands out even among famous American bands, and its impact is simply dynamic.
As we hear, Yoshiki himself writes in his messages on the site.
If you haven’t tried the site, go visit now!
http://www.myspace.com/violetuk As for the Violet UK samples, they're in the order of my preference: I like Mary Mona Lisa a lot, Sex and Religion a little less, and so on. Which doesn't mean at all that I don't like City of Devils outro! But... a little too much "artificial drums", makes the song a little cold, too bad. And I think he made the singers sing in a little too "cliche" way. But well... I say this because I'm a hopeless perfectionist, these songs are -GREAT-.
Oh and: unfortunately, the Violet UK songs are samples. One minute something samples. Contrary to "Yoshiki songs/music", which are "complete songs", or nearly complete (Yoshiki usually masters loooong songs, eh! but looooong and greaaaat, that's "the Yoshiki touch")... Oh and I have to admit I couldn't stop some tears in my eyes when I heard the Tears "unreleased version": I expected an instrumental version or something like that, but not... "that voice"... guess it's still hard, even after 9 years!
Please spread the word everywhere you can! We have to make MySpace explode because too many people wanted to listen to his works! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
