Well, today’s favourites are actually two Japanese songs, not Beck – he is rather my most enjoyed MP3-player’s album. Fitting with the waiting of 31-bus at Pálya utca’s stop.
This post was about these songs - Soran Bushi and Hiyamikachi Bushi, very lively. I had listened more solemn and sad songs from Ensemble Nipponia, these two came as a surprise. Very simple, curly, with old male and female vocals…
Then I checked some folklore songs from Japanese TV shows. Well, they are quite good, I found some of the singing similar to the Bulgarian folklore.
“One two..You know what to do…” And here it goes…
“The Information” is so fresh, makes me so happy that hardly anything recently can
compare with it. (It was Sporto Kantes last week but they are kind of more serious
and do not make me so dancy.)
The album is very visualistic to say. Sounds like the OST of an old science fiction
movie from the 70’s. With dancing green aliens and happy astronauts in funny bubbling costumes. There is the rocky ”Nausea” and the
breathing in ”The Information” resembles Bjork in the “Medulla”-album. I find at most two of the songs a bit narrative musically and not so exciting,
all the rest are alive and sparkling.
So, you know what to do…! Happy new Beck!
