Takako is a big favorite of mine. Like much "nippop" (Cute term I invented, pop from Nippon), it is often both melodic, catchy, and very weird and avant garde all at once.
I think that Roomic Cube is better than this one though.

Something new, something amazing

I recently got sick of electronic music, because other than from a few of my favorite artists, nothing really sounded different to me. So I started exploring a mysterious corner of electronica, called "abstract". My first find was Takako Minekawa, and I knew I had finally found something new and unique to listen to. Finally I found something electronic, yet missing most of the genre's prerequisite endless repetitive beats, spaced-out futuristic dronings, and mysterious, tired-sounding female vocals, and other things that I've grown tired of. Instead, this cd is unlike anything I've ever heard, and because of that, I fell in love with it. The topics presented are all simple ideas (cats, clouds, colors, etc.), but explained in interesting ways through both lyrics and instruments, to bring all sorts of life to them. I never thought a song about the number 47 could be so entertaining, and now I'm convinced that 47 is indeed "a magical number" [from Kangaroo Pocket Calculator]. We also get a chance to live a day from the perspective of a cat [Cat House], and through quotes of famous scientists, learn a little about why clouds are white [Cloud Cuckoo Land]. These songs are soothing, entertaining, and most importantly, unique. I highly recommend this album to anyone else who's grown tired of everything sounding the same.

CloudyCloudCalculator is wonderful

I got this album because I liked her husband, Cornelius' work, and after I saw a picture of both of them, decided to see what her music was like. It lived up to what I expected it to be, and that's wonderful. Her style is very calm, girly, and very inventive. Her music is different than most, though similar to Kahimi Karie and even to her husband's work. I still recommend this album though, and it's good to listen to if you're in a positive, airy mood. Wonderful music.

This Cd is A Must for Fans of StereoLab, and Cibo Mato. becasue it is a mix in between. contains the catchy repetetive elements with oddly placed (or off beat translations) lyrics.
overall.. it's good fun.
