5.0 out of 5 stars breathtaking, February 25, 2003

An incredible album... boa is undoubtably one of the most amazing bands of all time, how it's possible that the entire world doesn't know who they are is well beyond me. I'm not generally a fan of much besides punk (and it's close relatives), but boa defies any standard set in music. The songs are touching, and simultaniously energizing and relaxing. It's perfect for almost any occasion, before you go to bed, while driving, or while painting... you have to hear this to believe it.

The only regret I have with this album is that it doesn't include Little Miss, which is one of my favorite boa songs.... of course almost all of boa's songs are favorites of mine... but still, if you can find Twilight, it's got all of the songs on this album in addition to Drinking, Little Miss, and the acoustic version of Duvet... and it's usually cheaper too since Twilight is a North American release instead of Japanese.

Notwithstanding that... boa is FABULOUS! No matter what you like, this cd is amazing!

This album is a rare jewel. I first heard Boa when watching Serial Experiments Lain, the song "Duvet" was the theme. ...The singer has a beautiful voice, deep, soulful. The songs have a sad tinge to them....They also have an air of fantasy and mystery. The instrumental parts of the songs are superb as well, aslow cascade of melodies and rhythms. This music I guess would be labelled as Alternative Rock.. but without the usual mainstream sound that usually implies. And it's excellent mood music for when you want to draw :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A trully Masterpiece that nobody knows!, May 18, 2001

This is trully a great album. I don't know very much about this artist, and i was only planing to write a review when i knew something more. Neverthless, i had to write, so you could have a slight image of the great album that "Race of a Thousand Camels" is! Duvet, Twilight, One day and Fool are just great! as they are all! Boa has a very deeply voice, and the music is an alternate rock, with an acoustic guitar producing a sound so addictive... this is a great album for those who like bands that want to be out of the teen-pop age, and want to make real music. If you like bands like K's Choice i think you will love this as i did.
