ONUKI TAEKO – Aventure
(1) Quiet one to start with, kdb and vox K:7/10 MV:0/1 HNT:6/13. Bulks-up after 2nd verse, good poener. (2) Piano and strings opening lo…o…o…n…g intro then PERFECT vocals. Difficult to nail the atmosphere…like, Hankyu Sanbangai Bargain. You can tell where Fukada Kyouko got it from. Nice strings and a gusty gale effect, but not like Emperor. (3) Iro Wa White Blend – and- gtr and strings again. But of noisy guitar – Nurdling Organ. But no noodling, sorry. (4) Toy synth, gtr and ch-ch syndrums. Phased or bandpassed vo vocals and a BEAUTIFUL cadence before the chorus. Actually, some very interesting instrumentation. Lovely Middle-8. Da-da-da-da-Daa-Daaa! So much stuff on this album that feels like you Already Know It – but what did it influence and when….OOH I LOVE THIS ONE. (5) Fire Engine sounds – Da da da da Samba . 5/4 time. {so far: MV:0/5, HNT 8/13, K:6/10. Pause to slow part with tubular bells – ‘maburoshi’ is used. Does it pick up? YOU BET it does – for the middle-8, which is where ‘Love Addict’ got it from (ooh! Naughty Mika) (6) PROPER proto-bronze-age Idol material now – I think I can now properly identify the Takeo Style. LOTS MORE electronics on this album than completely usual at the time. Lots of keyboard figures that later show up on Furil. (7) Proper cocktail track now. It’s a latecomer to this album, but it’s Date time. (8) Dry Run for ‘Nanpa Sen’ by the sound of it….and a but like Kokoro Toshkan End Theme (9) IS GREAT. REVISIT THIS ONE WITH A REVIEW OF ITS OWN.
