Rago [Limited Release]

[Machine Translation] Seiichi Yamamoto's "Uta Mono" album, the origin of "Uta Mono", has finally been released on analog LP for the first time! Originally released on Gun Cassette in 1997, the first album was re-released by Warner in the same year with a new sleeve artwork, and is now available in long-awaited analog format. From the beginning of "Eien no Uta" (Songs of Eternity), the album features a lineup of pop songs that are far removed from the expressions Seiichi Yamamoto has shown in his past works. The songs are full of comfort to the ear and a tingling tension beneath the skin. Rather, these songs seem to sneak deep into the listener's slackened consciousness because of their friendliness. The album also includes "HOWLING SUN," a cover of "Pilgrim's Progress," a song from Procol Harum's classic album "Salty Dog. The strange neologism "Uta-Mono" was also coined in response to the fact that Seiichi Yamamoto began to sing. With obi.

山本精一"うたもの"の原点、羅針盤のアルバムが遂に初アナログLP化! 97年にギューン・カセットからリリースされたアルバムを、スリーヴ・アートを変更し、同年ワーナーから再発売されたファーストが待望のアナログ化。冒頭の「永遠 ＜えいえん＞のうた」から、山本精一がこれまでに見せてきた表現とは遠く離れたポップ・ソングが並ぶ。耳への心地よさと皮一枚下にはヒリヒリとした緊張感が漲っている。むしろ、その人懐こさゆえに、聴き手の弛緩した意識の奥深くに忍び込むような、そんな歌たち。プロコル・ハルムの名盤『ソルティ・ドッグ』収録曲「巡礼者の道」のカヴァー、「HOWLING SUN」も収録。思えば"うたもの"という不思議な新造語も、山本精一が歌いはじめたことに対応して急設されたものだったと思い知らされる。帯付き。
