A striking debut that paints a picture of the future of techno pop
This album succinctly expresses the synth pop and refreshing melodies that TM Network has displayed since their early days. With a cutting-edge sound image and a sense of unity among the band, this album can be said to be the beginning of their career.
TM Network's debut album, "Rainbow Rainbow," is packed with the band's early aspirations and ambitions for the future. Based around synthesizers, the harmony between electronic arrangements and band performance is striking. The interplay between the light rhythm section and guitar/keyboards reveals a different expression in each song, allowing you to discover new aspects with each listen. The vocals are both sweet and restrained, and the lyrics and sound seem to mesh well together. The seeds of what would become their later hits are visible everywhere, making this a vivid, embryonic work that confirms the band's direction.
