【このバンド気に入りました！】
En-exと発音するそうな。シンガポール・ベースのPOP/ROCK BAND。MYSPACEでFRIEND申請があり、初めて知ったのだが、これがまたナカナカで（笑）。仄かに香る叙情性豊かなメロディにややハスキーなVo.が乗る様はスローなナンバーもミドルテンポのナンバーもそれなりのクオリティを持っています。シンガポールやフィリピン付近のバンドは、前からちょこちょことリサーチはしていたのですが、時折掘り出し物のバンドがひょっこりと顔を出すので気が抜けません（笑）。現在フル・アルバムの制作中ということで、今年の終わりごろのリリースを目指しているそうです。私のお気に入りはピアノを巧みに使った“Never Be The Same”ですね。この曲だけでもぜひ一聴を。

【ＮＥＷＳ】
ZINK MUSICからのお知らせで二つの大きな喜びが！！
（その１）JAR - Scene 29
A brand new album from two of the most legendary names on the Westcoast Music scene; the band is called JaR and behind that name we find Jay Graydon (Airplay, Planet 3) and Randy Goodrum (Chicago, Steve Lukather). The album “Scene 29” is superbly crafted, loaded with original, sophisticated, catchy songs, with subtle harmonies and interesting melodic hooks. The musical concept is totally new, yet slightly familiar to anyone into the Steely Dan sound, as the songs build on a similar formula with complex jazz-influenced chord structures that are pleasant to the ear with unexpected musical twists, as well as apt, fun and innovative lyrics. Further, the groove is mature and as usual Jay Graydon plays his guitar with elegant and intelligent accuracy.
（その２）SMOOTH REUNION - Cleaning Up The Business
Guitarist Josef Melin and drummer Samuel Andre met in 2006 at a school called ITM in Sweden. They soon discovered that they both liked jazz, fusion and westcoast and shortly after, Smooth Reunion was born. They immediately started out writing and recording and it was not long until they presented their debut album “Scandinavian Bus Mentality” in 2007. Hard at work ever since polishing new composition into perfection together with a wide range of musical friends, from the horn section to the amazing back up singers, everything is perfect without losing the spark. Many are those that have been taken by storm by these young guys and many more are about to follow the same path.
