Description
Wilken Feld visited Japan for the first time as a solo artist in 2015. The masterpiece original recording is now available. Tal’s performance in Japan in August this year is still fresh in my memory, but his first solo visit to Japan was four years ago. It was originally supposed to be held in 2012, but was postponed due to a traffic accident just before the event. It was also a performance that was finally realized three years later. Of these, this work includes “November 30, 2015 (night session)” and “December 3, 2015 (night session).” This is an audience recording of two performances vacuum-packed in the same recording artist’s collection. First, let’s look back at the schedule at the time and check the structure of this work. ・November 29th: Osaka (evening performance) ・November 30th: Tokyo (evening performance) ・November 30th: Tokyo (evening performance) ←★This work DISC 1★ ・December 2nd: Tokyo (・December 3rd: Tokyo (evening performance) ・December 3rd: Tokyo (evening performance) ←★Disc 2-3★ of this work, 4 days in total. As with this year’s return to Japan, the show will be held at the pace of two performances a day, with a schedule of one day in Osaka and three days in Tokyo. This work is a 3-disc set that combines the 2nd performance in Tokyo and the final 6th performance. This work, which records such a show, is a real audience where you can feel Tal up close. The venue is a club-sized venue where you can also eat, and the stage is almost right in front of you. Therefore, the physical distance between the bands is close and the atmosphere is directly linked to the band’s presence. Both are clear masterpieces, but there are slight differences, perhaps due to the difference in seats, and the second performance (disc 1) has a very small amount of acoustics that is rich and rich, whereas the final performance (discs 2-3) has no such sound and is slightly different. Fully exposed. The snare can even feel the dynamism of the trembling skin, and although the bass is fat, the harshness of the attack and the vibe of the sound are clear. As for the vocals, I get the illusion that they are being picked up by the recording microphone itself rather than the PA. The ultra-realistic sound depicts a show that surprisingly resembles the return to Japan in 2019. At the time, Tal was associated with a bass player who played in the background of big names, and his first solo album, 2007’s TRANSFORMATION, was a fusion-type instrumental. Naturally, it was thought to be a jazzy instrumental battle, but when I opened the lid, it turned out to be a singing show in which I was also the vocalist. Now, let’s organize the set as well. ●LOVE REMAINS (8 songs)・Killing Me/Love Remains/Under The Sun/Counterfeit/Haunted Love/Corner Painter/Hard To Be Alone/One Thing After Another●Others (4 songs)・How Soon Is Now (THE SMITHS) Songs that were not performed in 2019: Last Goodbye (Jeff Buckley) / Newborn / All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey) … and so on. The order of the songs is slightly different between the two performances, but the songs are the same. The centerpiece is the 2nd solo “LOVE REMAINS” number released this year, and even though it was released four years ago, all songs except “Fistful Of Glass” and “Pieces Of Me” are performed, and THE SMITHS’ cover “How Soon Is Now” is also included. Play. These songs were performed on their return visit to Japan this year, and they haven’t changed much. We also introduced this year’s live albums “TOKYO 2019 1ST NIGHT: 2ND STAGE” and “TOKYO 2019 2ND NIGHT: 2ND STAGE,” but they also featured Jeff Buckley’s cover and “Newborn,” which you can’t hear there. The works are more diverse. Also, since it was the end of the year, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was also sung, but it bears no resemblance to the glittering original song. In the intro part, Tal sings an ennui voice over an ambient synth, but unless you follow the lyrics, you won’t realize it’s a song. In the original song, the song jumps into a pop style, but Taru’s arrangement swells into the powerful “Hard To Be Alone.” It may be a result, but despite the timing of 4 years before the release, it was a bold first visit to Japan with a “LOVE REMAINS” number that no one had ever heard. This is an original recording that brings you the closest to the 29-year-old Tal Wilkenfeld, including the innocent voice that has just started her journey as a singer-songwriter, and the outstanding bass that she has proven in many big-name co-stars (by the way, her birthday is It was December 2nd, and he was 28 years old in Disc 1). This is a gem that allows you to enjoy the most precious early stages of Taru’s solo live album, which is extremely rare worldwide, with the finest sound.
