It may have been last year or 2023 when that big total eclipse came rushing over our skies and it was Niagara Falls that provided the prime vantage point. So, thousands upon thousands of people rushed to the Honeymoon Capital of the world for those few minutes of epic darkness. Toronto got hit by the shadow as well so we were in our abode in the afternoon when the skies went totally black in what was one of the more dramatic scenes that I ever witnessed.
A few years have passed since putting up my last article on Kyoto Jazz Massive but doing some browsing and maintenance on the blog re-acquainted me with the project devoted to jazz, electronica and other styles. This is the title track from their 2000 EP "Eclipse", and though today is merely a Tuesday, listening to this one makes me feel like it's a Friday and it's time to hit the oh-so-cool club scene. And the craziest thing is that I have probably heard excerpts of this song before through its use in segments of Japanese infotainment programs. By the way, the version below is the Afronaught remix.
Afronaught? Well, this is the first time I have heard that term and it is one I am going to keep in my memory. Kyoto Jazz Massive is outstanding if I say so myself! Eclipse is some how relaxing (or easy to listen to) and exciting at the same time. I like both versions of the tune, but I think I like the first one the best.
ReplyDeleteBoth are fine versions as well, but I have to say that I like the oomphed-up version by the ladies even better. I hope that KJM has amassed quite the fandom over the past few decades since I never hear of them outside YouTube.
