Omas Sextet

[Machine Translation] It is like a documentary on the Soul Aquarians, recorded by Kore-eda. The film has a festive sense of border crossing and a sense of inevitability like a scene from a commonplace everyday life. It is as if a private jet ran out of gas, crash-landed, and wandered into a village deep in the mountains of Haiti, where the village chief was operating Pro Tools, and the shock and relief of not having experienced anything like this before. The limited edition 12-inch version sold out immediately. But somehow, here in Japan, it was miraculously released on CD for the first time in the world. The density of the groove is to the point of madness. And the strength of the ensemble. Reginald Omas Mamode IV, a funky genius who has won the admiration of Giles Peterson and Naruyoshi Kikuchi, presents a warm masterpiece born of the bonds between blood relatives.

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

例えるなら、是枝監督が録ったソウル・アクエリアンズのドキュメンタリー。越境の祝祭感と、ありふれた日常の一コマの様な必然性。自家用ジェット機がガス欠、不時着し迷い込んだハイチの山奥の村で、村長がPro Toolsをオペレートしていたかの様な未体験の衝撃と安堵。限定12インチは即完売。ところがどっこい、なぜかここ日本で奇跡の世界初CD化。太鼓の皮の張りや湿り気、奏者の息遣いやその掌の痺れまでも伝わる、狂おしい程のグルーヴの密度。そして、アンサンブルの強度。ジャイルス・ピーターソンや菊地成孔も惚れ込むファンキーな奇才 レジナルド・オマス・マモード四世が贈る、血縁者たちの絆が生んだ温かな傑作の誕生。
