[Machine Translation] Of Tropique ( of Tropique ), a band that sounds like a stateless, tropical, funk-rock exotica, is releasing a full-length album of 12 songs on analog vinyl. The album makes the most of their basic formation as a guitar-less trio and features a total of 14 diverse guest musicians to create a rich soundscape. The album opens with "Tiempo," which features members of Miramar, a US new wave Latin band that has been attracting attention from early listeners. The fact that they chose to open the album with a mid-tempo, mellow, song-like piece is a clear statement that goes against the grain of their existing fanbase. Diddley Nishioka, Samut Nobe, and Miki Izumi from Kumails ( Les Khmers ), who hold deep respect for Cambodian rock, participate in this album. Nishioka's guitar spices up "Golden Beauty," and the euphoric, exotic interweaving of Khmer and Japanese in "Theme of Kitaro Okuwa" opens up a whole new world of music. In "Flux Tide," a cover of the US exotic band Wet Sounds, featuring Joshua Camp of the Brooklyn cumbia band Cicha Libre on organ, Joshua's Farfisa The album takes the listener into a deeper abyss through the psychedelia of Joshua's Farfisa organ. Another remarkable thing about this album is that the guitar-less group has invited some of the best guitarists in Japan. Rockin' Enocky of Jackie&The Cedrics, a leading figure in the surf/garage world, Cassette Con-los and Peng Peng Dong Peee, who digest calypso and African music in their own unique way, and Wada Mambo of Peng Peng Dong Peee. Peng Peng Dong Peee ( Peng Peng Dong Peee ), Hiroyuki Nagakubo, who projects the dense worldview of Exotico De Lago ( Exotico Mambo ) onto his guitar tone, and former member and old acquaintance Tsuneji Yagihashi. Their diverse string sounds intersect with the solid groove of Obtro Peak. The progressive keys of moe, whose tone was also unique in the Minyo Crusaders, and the percussion of Mutsumi Kobayashi of Mumbia Y Sus Candelosos (Mumbia Y Sus Candelosos) add tropical heat to the entire piece. In the climax of "Gerry in The Desert," Kazuma Ozeki, formerly of Banderas, plays a thrilling piano that sparks the band members head-on and forms the album's biggest highlight. The grand finale is a cover of the Latin Playboys' classic "Forever Night Shade Mary," a mellow performance performed by only the three members that makes you want to pick up the record and go back to the first track on the A-side. Including the unique visual world of YOTS, who created the artwork for the band's leader, Siguah Fang, this album is a milestone in contemporary exotica, combining music, visuals, and the record format itself.
