Caia's "The Magic Dragon"



I like to call the contents of this album "fan music." Why, you ask? Well, when I play it, it kind of makes me want to put on one of those house fans, and seductively pose in front it -- you know, hair all free-flowing and what not, mouth slightly agape.

Ah, yes. The splendor that is Caia.

With one part Maiku Takahashi (a premiere Japanese producer), and one part Groove Armada's Andy Cato, rest assured that you are in (very) good hands.

The Magic Dragon
drips with unadulterated sensuality, mixing cool, downtempo electronica beats with a certain trip-hop warmth that is not always easily captured.

If you're thrown by Thievery Corporation or agog with Afterlife, I behoove you to check this one out.
