The Rentals

Hi,
For those who missed the news on twitter and facebook, a new tribute album is out.
The album is called "Lost out in the machinery", and it s a Japanese CD.
This album seems to be the final physical form of previous tribute album "Friends of P. - A tribute to The Rentals"). The previous tribute album was only released online.
(for more info about previous tribute album, please have a look at the following thread:

11. HELLO HELLO / ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATIONbonus track

Song 1 come from AOL live session (I wonder if the intro is included, when the singer says the song is called "you should be with me")
Song 3 and 10 were not realeased on previous tribute album (it seems they were supposed too according to previous post).
Song 11 comes from Asian Kung-fu Generation single Fujisawa Loser.
Song 12 is a B-Side of chapter 3 of Songs About Time.

The CD can be purchased on Amazon Japan (it s a bit expensive to get it outside Japan).
(you can also find some reference on Amazon France, Amazon UK, and GEMM.com)

I'd be all over this if it wasn't so expensive. I never downloaded the original US version but this looks a lot nicer.

So almost a year later and I finally got it. I ordered it for <$20 from play asia. Came in today and I just finished it. Some are good. Some are meh. But it's nice to hear different takes on classic tunes.
