Different style, but still great
| This is one of those Alan's albums that are not as popular as some of his other more publicized or widely accepted ones. Although many of the songs in the album are not typical of Alan's singing techniques, and even as the melodies are not as easily appreciated as many of his other songs, Alan put forth a monumental effort and was able to harness notes together in a very convincing manner-- euphonious and rythymic--any other singer in Hong kong would have rendered this album unlistenable. The music arrangement , the melodies and lyrics, and Alan's tonality are consistent from song to song,all suggesting a recurring theme that's pervasive throughout the album--rythym and movement, Alan's vocal lines impeccably harmonizing with the music. Furthermore, musicianship was first rate, many working on the album being highly regarded musicians from Japan. And the recording, mixing and mastering were also excellent, though track #3 could have used a little bit more vibrancy and tonal color. Having a sensible order of tracks that shows good development of music and mood, this is an album that is meant to be enjoyed in the original order of its tracks from beginning to finish, much alike his "Gun and Romance" album which is argubly one of Alan's best work as a recording artist alongside his "Peace" album. |
