1. Welcome to my BABYLON

2. *Prayer
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads  
This is my favourite song on the album and possibly one of my favourite ever. Prayer is a wicked and highly seductive song, extremely tongue in ear.
"Bad sense is over, come through the gate
Good sense is over, come through the gate."
Babylon generally is a more angsty painful album than the others and also more mixed, with some great stuff and also some average songs.

3. アジト
Agit

Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
I like the percussion in this one, and the way it kind of hops along. Sounds a bit like steel drums. It's hard to describe though. 


4.  Feeling High and Satisfied
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
The word Rockabilly comes to mind.

5. ストロベリー
*Strawberry

Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
An extremely seductive song and very clever use of an echo unit on his vocals. This song just gets more and more delightful each time you listen to it.
Love that ending
*X*

6. *What Can I Do
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
I like this one alot. It's more upbeat and less tortured than some of the other songs.

7. *Liberation
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
This is very prickly and it took me a while to like but now I am right into it. Great sense of urgency and lots of cool screeching.

8. 忘却の空
*Boukyaku No Sora
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Well everyone knows about this one don't they? Brilliant of course, and probably the most impressive display of Kiyoharus vocal skills.


9. Late Show
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
Another fairly basic rock song. Fun live but just a little too ordinary. Not a bad song, just not an particularly good one either.

10. Gentle Darkness
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Another seductive, torchy type number. Very nice singing, but a little tedious.


11. *Darlin
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
This is much more fun, in spite of being fairly basic country style rock. His singing is so over the top here, it's irresistable.

12. *Stuck Life
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
Don't ask me why, but I really identify with this song. Mad circular rhythms, and very bass driven. I like this one alot.
"Don't look back."

13. *Sad Pain
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
Always end an album making them want more. Very cathartic and impressive.

14. Conclusion of my BABYLON..

15. 赤裸々(new mix)
Sekirara-new mix-
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
I've never liked this song much and this new mix still doesn't do it for me. Some interesting singing, but then he sings magnificently on everything, however average it is.

16. *Cracker's Baby (new take)
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
I love this song! Even though it is damn silly. Great live song, a tight little punk number.

17. *Sandy-remix-
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Well you can't not like this one. It has heart.
