簡介。。。。。。

Yuko Ikoma is an accordion player from acoustic-instrumental duo Mama!milk. She also performs as a solo artist, her debut album Esquisse was relased this Spring (on Wind Bell). Esquisse is the music built of very gentle and mysterious melodies. It´s toy piano, music box, casiotone, recorders... It´s lovely, fresh and pure. Fragile music for fragile hearts.

Mama!milk´s music has been described as Japanese New Exotica or Cinema for Ears. I can add incredibly charming. It´s hard to stop listening to, it´s the right music to open your mind. Mama!milk´s live performances are just they two - Kosuke Shimizu on contrabass and Yuko Ikoma on accordion, the air around, the stage and their audience. When working on recordings, they collaborate with guest musicians. And they are invited as guests by others... In addition they are also producing music for theaters and films... I highly recommend.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。
評價指數:8.5/10
我很喜歡這張專輯,可是它居然地下得連找到點英文資料都困難。這個女子名叫生駒祐子,覺得這個名字有點可怕,生駒+柚子,呵呵。不過這與音樂無關。這張專輯的清脆音色讓我回憶起我小時候的那個八音盒,有一個跳芭蕾舞的小人兒,可以放在鏡面上,音樂響起的同時,可愛的小人兒隨著音樂旋轉。這張專輯的音色真的好美,聽到這樣的音樂縂是讓我想放下手中所有的忙碌,靜靜地去聼,而眼前會出現我那個閃閃發亮的芭蕾女伶在不停地旋轉。清脆動聽之外也融進了許多日本傳統的音樂元素。這樣的音樂似乎會永遠延綿不絕下去,而你卻會順服地跟隨著,不願去將它停止。
