Masayoshi Takanaka, my second guitar god. We are back with yet another
LP, it's June now, summer time happiness and what not to celebrate it
with Takanaka's lovely singing guitar and Jazz Fusion songs perfectly
crafted by him?
Before Takanaka'S second album, TAKANAKA, Seychelles was not
(Completely) instrumental, TAKANAKA has no lyrics, the singer is the
guitar, which is still great, these lovely summer tunes are some of
the best ever crafted. Ready To Fly is the standout track without a
single doubt, the song might be one of Masayoshi Takanaka's best if
not the best, it's 7 minutes of progressive Jazz Fusion, one second
it's Takanaka making animal sounds (literally), the other second, you
realise you're flying in space because how good the track is.
TAKANAKA has other beautiful and long tracks like I Remember You,
SWEET AGNES and APRIL WAVE. These are great tracks for example,
Some of the rest is kind of forgettable but still pretty charming.
TAKANAKA is a great album, for summer? One of the best album possible
