He's up there, on the rotating banners. He tops my list of sexy older guys, personally. Tongue

Anyways, L.E.D., L.E.D.-G, L.E.D. LIGHT or L.E.D. LIGHT-G or Toshiyuki Kakuta, to use his real name - is a longtime composer who joined Konami JPN in 1998 and his songs are amazing - combining a variety of the harder dance styles of goa and psychedelic trance (some of my personal favourite trance styles) in addition to hard trance, NRG and more recently, nu style gabba and hardcore.

If you have not heard of him, I am going to write a Guide to L.E.D. and make you get to know him because he's definitely one of my favourites. So stay tuned.

I like L.E.D but i don't know much about him.

I know he's releasing an album though.

I'm probably the only person who is not very excited about his CD D:

So a partial tracklist is already up.  I'm glad Ixion is already one check off my wish list.  And hmm, GUHROOVY is one of the 14 remixers?  How original Tongue

EDIT: aww, no Naoki?  This better be because of that EVOLUTION album.

Hopefully so. Either that, or I do believe that L.E.D. and Taka chose the remixers for their albums (well, at least the ones that aren't beatnation records artists) so that might be a reason why there's no Naoki? L.E.D. wanted SLAKE and Nekomata Master and GUHROOVY Huh?

WTFH!  The current streak of how every group of unveiled songs contains at least 1 song I really like still continues (I was already happy with just IXION and PHOTONGENIC, but DAWN, SOLID STATE SQUAD, and SOUND OF GIALLARHORN too?).  I find this to be quite impressive considering that I'm not even the biggest fan of L.E.D.  I feel like I'm at least 5x more excited about this album than TAKA's, and I think I like TAKA more (I'm starting to have second thoughts about that though).

And it's also really nice to see how an original mix and remix of ACID VISION completely revives my hope that the new Jaeger will be in here.  That would be my 3rd favorite song of his after the two Maiko Horisawa ones.

Ah, yes. The guy who's remixing LOVELY STORM is probably going to be Akira Uchibori himself. I find it interesting that ACID VISION is on both discs, but whatever. SOUND OF GIALLARHORN <3

Sad to say, but the anticipation for milestone pales in comparison to L.E.D.'s album.  I went back and played DDR Konamix yesterday just for THE EARTH LIGHT.  The Maiko Horisawa songs, Sx3, IXION, THE DEEP STRIKER and SOG all one one disc is going to be (I don't use this word often enough) epic.

I hope that wac would not change the vocalist...but please, TOMOSUKE, please, don't remix like the milestone.

And Yoshitaka, PLEASE, PLEASE! Your milestone remix is like "I'm in Spring Rain again"! So please make more effort in this remix. Orz

He might make PHOTONGENICONTRACT or something, which I hope, but it should not sound exactly like CONTRACT.

Or better yet:
PHOTONGENICONTRACT ~SABAKI~ -somatic mutation type"Forza"-

Well, I think he would remix better with songs with vocals. So....I think it would be like "High School Love" or something, because he like that song SOOOOOO MUCH
