The people here who follow my uploads (thank you all!) have surely noticed that I upload a lot of music from 2005–2009. I have said before that I have spent a lot of years gradually and steadily building up my collection. However, one reason I have a lot of music from that time frame is because I spent those years doing amateur-quality Japanese music journalism as a side-job. I sucked at it and I’m not proud of the quality of reviews I wrote and all, heh, but one nice perk is that it allowed me to get a lot of Japanese music for free. I got paid more in free albums than I got actual money for my work. I’m not complaining about that though; I would have just spent the money on the albums anyways, lol. _MARS_ by cargo is one of the albums I got under those circumstances, and in fact I remember it being one of the last albums I ever wrote a review for in that capacity. Cargo is a four-member electronica/house band who incorporates elements from the hip-hop genre. They started out around 2004 but it would be a few years before their debut album, _Disc Odyssey,_ released in late 2006. That album brought cargo a lot of attention in the Japanese club scene and led to them collaborating with such artists as m-flo, Soul Source Production, Daishi Dance, and even Paris Match. By 2007 they were spending time at the top of the Oricon charts for club music. Since the release of _MARS_ cargo has released some more original music, but they have worked more on collaborations with other artists. I hope you all enjoy the album. If so, let me know and I will try to find some of their older work. I own their debut album but am not sure where it is in my stacks of CDs. But if you all enjoy _MARS_ I will be happy to try and find it to upload.
