簡介。。。。。。
Almost as a perfect segue out of Murcof, could come visual and musical artist Takagi, with the second instalment in his 'Eating' series. Opening with a sole oboe, branching into the pizzicato strings, plush piano and almost synthetic steel drum riddim of 'casa Blanca', this is a poetic beginning to an album bound to be received well by admirers of Masakatsu's first excursion. 'Botanica' has all the muted jazz appeal you could wish for, xylophones and breathy chording with a cheeky celeste, 'Wolcalasso' reveling in its more jaunty, edited classical feel. 'Trinidad bird' seals the equatorial associations of this album, a wonderful bass vamp and one of the very finest cuts here. Again, the music is ripe with pure associative qualities, allowing room for the all important imaginative space. 'Gelnia' could be one of the most relentlessly cheery numbers you could hear all year, yet this is balanced by a quite gorgeous, almost modal styled jazzual 'Bounce', down in tempo but not in heart. 'venetian red' implements some nifty keys, As a video artist, Masakatsu works with images and sounds in combination, most recently with the fashion designer Agnes B for his video installation and dvd release "light park". As ever, there's an advertising vulture waiting to snaffle the resonant melodic shapes of this finely tuned album, make sure to sneak in before someone has their wicked way with it, for this is a tender, well meant and gloriously enriching listen. Highly Recommended.(from boomkat)

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數:8.0/10

有了上一次的經驗,這次在聼eating2的時候,找過來些平時最愛的食物,徹徹底底地享受一把生活的單純美好。居然才發現音樂和食物原來是這麽搭調的一對,把二者糅合在一起真是好有生活氣息啊。兩張都喜歡,如果非要比一比的話,我似乎更喜歡前者。eating2擁有更多的甜美與現代,eating則似乎顯得更自然質樸一些。如果說eating是沁人心脾的清茶的話,那麽eating2就是濃郁飃香的咖啡。如果說eating是清淡可口的sushi的話,那麽eating2就是可愛香甜的蛋糕。
