The first of these is a quieter, more meditative track, while the latter has a bit more zest to it.  They're both fine tracks! The annotations for Hatha Hill are intentionally cryptic, while those for Noche Del Guajolote actually share some details about the genesis of the song.  I think I prefer Noche Del Guajolote, but both songs are pretty solid.

The Stardust Grail (Yume Kitasai)

I liked this better than her first novel, The Deep Sky. I am a sucker for aliens with weird biologies and whatnot. It doesn’t feel like horror overall but has some cosmic horror elements. More like cosmic adventure tinged with horror. Some of the characters and motivations could have been better fleshed out, but overall it was immensely readable.
