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)

「Breakout」というのは、膠着・停滞した状態から脱して、何らかの衝動的な出来事が勃発することを意味する。インパクトのある便利な言葉で、株式市場で長期間停滞していた銘柄の株価が急騰もしくは暴落した時にも用いられる。僕はその意味でこの言葉を曲名に使ったわけではないけど、先日「エヌビディアの時価総額が日本のGDPを越えたなんてバブルだ」という記事を目にしたので、それにちなんだショート動画を作ってみました。

クリスマス、ホリデーシーズンになると、CBSやABCなどアメリカのネットワークテレビ局では「風と共に去りぬ」や「チョコレート工場」、「オズの魔法使い」、「サウンド・オブ・ミュージック」等の映画が必ずオンエアされる。「風と共に去りぬ」は奴隷制や銃社会が下敷きになっているので、今の視点から見ると違和感があるのだが、それでも「国民的名作」の地位は揺らがないのだろう。それはさておき、僕の曲の中では唯一ホリデーっぽい(笑)曲をお楽しみ下さい。

このところYouTubeのプレイリストを整理・拡充しています。これまでは音楽のジャンルやテーマに沿った楽曲集を中心に作ってきましたが、音楽を聴く側(皆さんです)の使い道や機能を想定したプレイリストも充実させていきます。第一弾として「ランニング・ワークアウトのための楽曲」リストを作ってみました。コレクションの中心を占めるCaptain Funkの楽曲の大半は、Deluxe Editionに収録されている最新ミックスです。僕もこれを聴いて走ってみます!
