Yeah, Kemuri is the last track, really mellow. For me i'd include the track before Shen Sekai, 'Real' also - it kickstarts that run of amazingness.

bahaha i should link some danish rap here. fucking weird sounding stuff, if you don't speak the language (i do)

fuck yeah. these guys are arguably the best rap/producer group to come out of denmark. produced tracks for people like ice cube, eazy e and rakim under their alt moniker madness 4 real. their own tunes were sick too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZtmLhmEje8

malk de koijn are amazing. they've won awards in denmark for "enriching the danish language" and loads of other more music-related ones too. always a massive audience favourite. mental lyrics
