She released an album back in 2003, although it contained many remakes (brilliant remakes, for that matter). Well, remembering that she's an Oldfield fan, it's really surprising that she never tried to release a separate instrumental album... Maybe she was fine with writing instrumentals for OSTs, or maybe her recording label never supported the idea. Are there many Japanese composers who release instrumental albums? I wonder...
And I don't call KnK music boring (it's one of the most intriguing works in Yuki's profile, on par with Boogiepop and Double Cast). But many tracks are examples of ost music people are usually better off listening IN THE CONTEXT. It seems that such tracks were the cause for much criticism upon Yuki, when people compare them to hack//sign or Tsubasa which can be actually treated as her real albums.
this, btw, is the main reason why I'd really look forward to her new collaborations with Mashimo, regardless of how "elcazasnore" the series itself might be.
