Welcome to
Cometa, an mp3 rotation site run by
Emi and a part of
Overthrown.nu. Cometa has been on the web since 2003 or so. ...Who remembers because I don't. Music for sampling is an eclectic mix of Asian and International tunes in a multitude of varieties that will probably blow your mind. This is
version sixteen, featuring Utada.
Cometa was updated on August 29, 2010. Next rotation is September 5th.
Cover song extravaganza today. It's one of my weaknesses.
o1.
PRECIOUS... (LUNA SEA)
Artist: Merry
Album: LUNA SEA MEMORIAL COVER ALBUM -Re:birth-
Rating:
Comments: (Jrock/cover) Merry definitely takes over on this one. Lots of screeching and static.
o2.
OHIO (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)
Artist: doa
Album: deadstock
Rating:
Comments: (Jrock/cover) Not much was changed from the original, but the new recording breathes life into an old song.
o3.
SWEET MEMORIES (Seiko Matsuda)
Artist: AJI
Album: Walk With You/SWEET MEMORIES
Rating:
Comments: (JR&B/cover) R&B re-imagining of this sweet ballad.
o1.
God's Gonna Cut You Down (Traditional)
Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: AMERICAN V: A Hundred Highways
Rating:
Comments: (Country/Folk) I don't know if singing a traditional song can technically count as a cover, but if it was a cover, it would be the best cover of this song.
o2.
No Milk Today (Herman's Hermits)
Artist: Alexander Rybak
Album: Roll With The Wind
Rating:
Comments: (Norwegian Folk/cover) Transformed into his own style, which means a lot of violin. Really revived an old tune from the '60's.
o3.
Sukiyaki (Kyu Sakamoto)
Artist: A Taste of Honey
Album: Twice As Sweet
Rating:
Comments: (R&B/cover) One of many English covers of the song (originally titled "Ue wo Muite Arukou," which made more sense).
o1.
OPA
Artist: Giorgos Alkaios & Friends
Album: OPA
Rating:
Comments: (Greek Pop/Dance) The cover would have you believe this song is actually some kind of apocalyptic, metrosexual action movie - but it's not.
o1. Do not direct link to any of my files or pages. That just ain't cool.
o2. Download one song at a time. They're not going anywhere.
o3. You'll be needing an
unzipper.
o4. If you like the song, please delete it after 24 hours and support the artist. Grab the CD at
YesAsia or
cdjapan.
o5. Read the rules found in the
Archive before requesting.
