Ordered the CDs from Trumn on Friday pm. Received email of postage details and photo of package on Sat am. A few friendly emails exchanged. Package received Wed noon-ish. Amazing personal service, just as you explained. Lovely guy also.Now I have two Yui Onodera Cds to listen to - a brief listen suggests both are quality ambient of the style I very much like. I am looking forward to an extended soak...
Thanks for putting us onto this artist.

I probably still need to sit down and give these a dedicated listen, but I thought I would post some brief comments. I really like both these discs – I do not prefer one over the other.
The Entropy disk is a drone/sound-wash style of ambient with vaguely recognisable instrumentation often forming the lovely tonalities/layers of the drone; there are few sounds separated from the main drone. I find it subtle, having a gentle, slow broad movements.
Relative to Entropy, the ...Beautiful Schizophrenic disc is similar, though has more recognisable general structures and instrumentation. There are more easily recognisable, yet still subtle and nicely integrated instrumentation and sounds, that don't form part of the drones. More music at the frequency extremes, and has greater volume variation and obvious detailing - more power, more light, more sparkle, more readily evident textures and variation...
Although more 'obvious' or overt, the ...Beautiful Schizophrenic disk still retains a lovely subtlety and beauty. It will perhaps be more interesting accessible to many folks who are not into the more subtle drone-based/sound-wash ambient (e.g. some SOTL).
Cheers
