"I paid an exorbatant amount to have this CD and it was worth it. The melodic compositions are in line with the Eels, Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins. Supercar has been rightfully dubbed a would-be British band, in line with the good, edgy qualities of their music. They have great melodies, are generally upbeat, and just so wonderfully awesome that I wonder what other Japanese music I could be missing out on. It is a very solid album, with only a few mediocre songs and no bad ones. As far as I can tell, it's their best album. They sing in Japanese and in English, though sometimes their accent is a little muddled and I cannot tell which language they are singing in. I have passed the album along to friends and they have loved it. Supercar's music is featured in the Japanese movie "Ping Pong," another cultural experience we should be importing into the West."

A Jap recomend this album much!!

"This is one of the musical epic poetory. All of the tracks composed within melodious and magnificient wave. Basically the sound on the techno and electoronica, but they are not artifical bad feeling. As I mentioned it like epic poetory, this album really in the natural and comfortable mode. Besides this, the words are also poetic and making rhyme rhythmically. Futurama is the one of the monumental achivement in the Japanese underground sound scene. I really wanted you to listen this greatest epic."

Great album!

"If I had to make comparisons, I would compare this album to the works of Amon Tobin or the Boom Boom Satellites. Well worth the extra money spent on an import album. Light, upbeat electronica with whispery vocals."
