Now, wouldn't the above be a sight for sore eyes? Have a view like this at your next vacation...hopefully sooner rather than later.
The last time I posted anything by the fusion band Katsumi Horii Project（堀井勝美PROJECT）, it was back in the pre-pandemic days. Well, allow me to rectify that. I couldn't quite believe it when I read that this titular track from his "Blue Waters" album was actually released in July 1998 because from the way it sounds, especially with that Fender Rhodes in there, "Blue Waters" sounds like something from the 1980s, perhaps during Japan's Bubble Era.
I think what has gotten me to think that way is that along with the Fender Rhodes, the main piano sounds perfectly attuned to anything used for the soundtrack of Seizo Watase's（わたせせいぞう）"Heart Cocktail"（ハートカクテル） series of anime vignettes. You may be listening to this from the comfort of your own home, but you might still be existentially pressured to yell out for an Orange Mimosa! In any case, this is one really relaxing number for a Sunday brunch.
The music is great as usual. Actually when I think of "Katsumi Horii," I think of those old VHS tapes where they had the band's music playing while a model would walk around the beach. Perfect music to soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteI definitely remember those tapes. Our club was showing one of those tapes as a warmup before presenting a major anime movie back then. The model in that one was making some rather lurid poses...nice music, though. :)
