Sound that stops the moment and makes you wonder
about new album ' Fragrance of Notes '
.......Their new album 『Fragrance of Notes was released this summer after five years, the album is made with artists Tsutomu Kurihara (drums), Takeo Toyama (piano) and also Gak Sato (Theremin) who worked at Right Tempo for more than 10years, and also Yuichi Inobori (flute/trombone) as guest players.
The 14tracks or should I say 14piece of poems are like a picture scroll which will bring back some old and sweet memories. It reminded me a film the romantic three piece made by movie director Seijun Suzuki, this album is a masterpiece.
The sexy and beautiful sound of accordion will cross by to the cool contrabass as if it is trying to seduce and other instruments were smiling to hear that eroticism in that sound and fit in as well.Inner ecstasy comes out from that crossing and continues to stay regardless of time.
This album will become a sound track for me as we toward to autumn.
GAUA PROJECTek diska berria amaitu du. "BAT" gure lehen lana , iluna eta dentsoa. "BAT" olerki eta iluntasunarekin jolasten du, baina beti bilatzen argiren azken argi-izpia. Abestien hitzak "letras" erreproduktorearen link-an irakurri dezakezue. GAUA PROJECT ha terminado su nuevo disco. "BAT" nuestro primer trabajo, oscuro y denso. "BAT" juega con la poesía y la oscuridad, pero siempre buscando el último haz de luz. Las letras de las canciones las podeis encontrar en el link "letras" del reproductor. Un saludo, nos vemos pronto!!
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press

Hi Yuko and Kosuke, Remember us? We met you when we were called John Baker Duo. Fragrance of Notes sounds so beautiful - i have emailed your label to see if they will send a copy to Australia. Great to hear you again, although we still play Gala de Caras regularly. Gayle and John
