주말 저녁, 차와 사람들로 붐비는 시내를 활보하듯, 선선한 가을, 카페의 창가에 앉아 따뜻한 커피를 마시며 창밖의 모습을 바라보듯, 아직 약간의 서늘함이 느껴지는 봄의 밤을 조용히 만끽하듯, 어느 여름밤, 호숫가에 앉아 하늘에 둥글게 뜬 달을 바라보며 들려오는 풀벌레 소리에 귀를 기울이듯이... 이렇게 감각적이고 사운드와 반대로 가사는 인간관계로부터 슬픔과 무기력함을 얻은 사람들의 이야기를 다루고 있다. 통통 튀는 베이스와 다양한 악기들의 사용이 마음에 드는 앨범. 92점.

윌슨형님이 일렉트로닉 음악 좋아하고 그동안 Bass Communion 활동한것도 아는데, 이 앨범은 뭔가 맥이 빠지는 느낌이다. 윌슨형님이 하고 싶어하는 음산한 느낌의 일렉트로닉 장르의 음악이 어느 정도 녹아있긴한데, 대중성을 의식한 느낌이 들어서 그런가 무드가 어중간한게 사실. 그동안에... Read More

Regret #9의 기타솔로 파트는 기존 락매니아의 관점으로 봤을때 이 앨범의 백미라고 보여지고, 이 앨범의 디럭스 한정판을 가지고 있는 자의 관점으로 봤을때 주인공 H. 심리상태를 중간에 끼워져 있는 메모장같은 서플먼트로 유추해가는 과정은 정말 흥미로운 과정이었습니다. 이 앨범이 나... Read More
