Gig Soup - Dark Model Saga

We have continued to have reviews on “Saga” from news and music websites such as The 405, Beat Dot Media, and Gig Soup. Following the vol.1, we would like to provide the excerpts from some of them here. We appreciate that these journalists and critics picked “Saga” and wrote the awesome articles.

“The record speaks on invincibility, it deals with the basic human desire to succeed and to be bulletproof, and with Saga, Dark Model is bulletproof.”

(Marie Flounoy, The 405)

“Oe is clearly a genius when it comes to music that shouldn’t work well together becoming something quite enjoyable and inspiring.”

(Jon Niles, Gig Soup Music, Originality:90/100, Content:91/100)

“You’ve watched epic sagas on the big screen with songs that played in the background as the hero saved the girl or the good guys battled to save the lives of everyone. You’ve felt that power, and that power is something you can feel when you listen to Dark Model. It’s like an epic adventure for your ears.”

(Yvonne Glasgow, Beat Dot Media)

“Listening to “Saga,” Dark Model’s sophomore release, I felt like I was simultaneously being pulled back into the past and catapulted into the future.”

(Chris Kompanek, The Huffington Post)

“On “Saga,” fans of both orchestral music and dance floor anthems will unite as this album does a masterful job at combining both genres seamlessly together. At times, there will be an epic, over-the-top choir that is filled with intense emotions and at other times, the pulsating beats will have the listener swaying to the infectious rhythms.”

(Isiah Reyes, Enter The Venture)

海外の書店も似た状況だが、日本の書店に「発明」コーナーはない(図書館の方がまだ望みがある)。法律やビジネス書の棚には知財/IPや特許を語る士業の本が溢れているが、リスクを負い、無数の失敗を経て奇跡を生み出す「創造の張本人」は彼らではない。特に個人で発明やイノベーションに挑む人達の声は、驚くほど届かない。ドクター中松やアイデア主婦だけが発明ではないというのに、その真髄は棚の隙間に消えている。

日本の図書館には不思議な魅力がある。欧米の図書館は割と賑やかで「人々の知的な交流の場」的な佇まいのところが多いように思うが、日本ではむしろ日々の交流とは距離を置いた「一人空間」を求めてくる人が多い気がする。蔵書数が多くて、無料の貸出を徹底しているのも特徴だろう。国立国会図書館は好きな図書館の一つで、最近の僕のリリースが輸入盤扱いな中、Dark Model『Saga』(日本盤)が収集されていて驚いた。

僕の生まれた広島県は全国1位の移民送出県だという。それを今日知った(笑)。僕の曾祖父も20世紀初頭に家族で渡米したのだが、その事実を知ったのも割と最近だ。祖母の家にはMJBコーヒーの緑の缶やスパムの缶詰があり、僕によくパンケーキを焼いてくれた。幼稚園児にもなっていない当時は、そのハイカラさの背景など考えもしなかった。もっと詳しく知りたいと思った時には、事情を知る人はもういない。それが世の常なのだろう。
