Soul Media - Memory Lane [Clear Sky Blue Vinyl] (LP)
Easily straddling jazz rock and fusion. Mellow, stormy and groovy. The sound that was born in 1980 and is beyond anything else is still vivid and fresh when listened to today.
Polished jazz. Refined rock. Sharpened funk. A strong groove that swallows everything.
The sound of <the future> born in 1980 is still vivid and fresh when listened to today.
Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, played a part in the development of jazz rock in Japan. This work, "Memory Lane", recorded in 1980, was the final work under the same name. Inagaki said about this work, "We tried to create this work while predicting the fate of fusion music", and it is true that the sound is completely different from ordinary fusion. The mellow and emotional "Memory Lane", the stormy and refreshing "I Will Give You Samba", and the groovy and edgy "Take My Hand". The sound of <the future> created with his ally Norio Maeda is of extraordinary perfection in all songs, arrangements, and performances. It is a masterpiece that is still vivid and fresh when listened to today.
