MIKE SLAMER (マイク・スラマー)コミュのSEVENTH KEY / THE RAGING FIRE

SEVENTH KEYの2nd。

VoはKANSASのベーシスト、
BILLY GREERです。
彼のソロ・プロジェクトなのですが、
ほとんどMIKE SLAMER節になってます。(^^;
制作に関わるのと、ギターの音で。

甘いボーカルに、フックの効いたギターリフ。
切ないメロディーはMIKEの得意分野ですから。(^^

僕は3曲目のYOU CROSS THE LINEの、
静かに始まって盛り上がる曲や、
6曲目のドライヴ感バリバリのSIN CITY、
重いリフが気持ちいい 8曲目のRUN、
9曲目のPYRAMID PRINCESSとか好き。

MIKEのタメの効いた、
メロディックなギターソロが素晴らしいですね。
ああ、DEF LEPPARDの曲作りに参加して欲しい・・・。(爆）
猛烈にプッシュしてるんですけど。(^^;;;

購入は国内盤をオススメします。
US盤はビデオクリップも入ってるんですが、
マスターの不手際で 2曲以降の頭が2秒ほどないんです。(汗）
これはおかしいと思って、GREER氏に尋ねて見たら
やはりレーベルのミスでした。(-_-;;


Hello Teytsuya,
First of all, Thank you for your support and taking the time to write and let me know your feelings. I'm very pleased that you are a fan and like the music. Next I must say that you have a very good ear and have picked up on something that nobody else seems to have heard, and that is the fact that every song except the first one has about 2 seconds deleted from the beginning. I apologize to you and all fans for this mistake. I, however am not responsible for the mistake. InsideOut bought the rights from FRontiers records for the rights here in the USA. They received the master and began copying the master. As it turned out, the man who made the master for Frontiers screwed up the master and no one double checked it before they started printing copies. The CD had already been distributed and on sale before I received a copy and found the mistake. I can't tell you how angry I was that the defective product was shipped and was being sold. It was too late for a recall, so, it is what it is. I have learned a valuable lesson to retain final approval before a product is released.

いい作品なのに、ちょっと残念です・・・。
でも、国内盤は正常にプレスされてますよー！

↓聴いてみてねー。
