洗練と技巧が融合したAORフュージョン
ジャズやロックの要素を取り入れたバランスの良いAOR作品。Neil LarsenとBuzz Feitenのコラボレーションが織りなす温かみあるサウンドが印象的。
Neil Larsen の鍵盤とアレンジ能力、Buzz Feiten のギター表現が緻密に溶け合い、洗練されたサウンドを構築している。リズム隊の安定感とホーンやストリングスの彩りが、楽曲に空間的広がりを生み、ポップ性と技巧性のバランスが絶妙だ。例えば “Who’ll Be the Fool Tonight” はキャッチーさを持ちつつ、演奏の質感に手応えを感じる構成である。全体的には、柔らかな聴き心地の中に演奏の緻密さと個性を際立たせた作品で、Larsen-Feiten の延長線上にある魅力を存分に味わえる。
