Free Music Review: Another collection of repackaged old tracks
Hit: 4 Stars
On the heels of a repackaging assortment of Keiko's older works, aptly named Collection (and barely two years old), here comes another compilation of old tracks, now titles Piano. This time, however, they're all played on piano (no lead synthesizer parts), and are rearranged with more acoustic, philarmonic support parties, which give the familiar works a more somber, classic sound. Less New Age, more Chamber touch. Insidentally, however, it makes some tracks lose their poignance. As an example, Presence of the Moon doesn't sound as brooding anymore, and Whisper From The Mirror sounds much more abstract and quite less mysterious.
Which may be a good thing for Keiko Matsui's chronologists and critics, with some new inerpretations of the great old works to chew on, but in my own humble opinion, the original works sounded better.
I just wish Keiko came up with some new material that wouldn't disappoint as much as most recent The Ring album!!
Free Music Review: Lovely
Hit: 4 Stars
If you are looking for nice music to accompany a fusion meal - this is the perfect CD. The music flows in a sweet patter of lovely sound, a Keith Jarret without the edges and sudden bumps, a carpet of well played and expressive melody and a Japanese touch. The music itself is rather faceless and molds itself upon certain repeated formulas, but that is not necessarily a fault. Once in the atmosphere of this, you feel naked when the music stops,so deep are you drawn to this world of sweet and tropical drizzle.Free Music Review: Keikko Matsui: The Piano
Hit: 4 Stars
First let me apologize, as I won't rate anything with a perfect five stars. But to rate it at four stars is saying something. I really like Keiko's music. It is an easy listening mix of fusion and jazz. It is great to listen to when I want to unwind during a hectic day. I would recommend it to everyone who is tired of the funk that is being produced today that others call music. Matter of fact, I have recommended it to others and they have bought Keiko's music for themselves as well.Free Music Review: Keiko always pleases
