[Something like a introduction]
(ALL TRACKS ARE REMASTERED except “Necrophoenix”… ’cause the mastertape was gone.)
(It’s a kind of concept album.)
1. The Amata (Visions in the Sky) [4:54]
* “Amata” means “Many” in Japanese, and “Eternity” in Thai language.
* This track freely changes the tempo, like BPM 170 > 40 > 190 > (stacks 2 or 4) > 170 > 40.
* The main melody (4/4 rythum) is like classic music's one, but the low part (3/4 rythum) is like jazz-pop's one.
* In the latter half, this track becomes spacy, like 80's progressive hard rock… but I only used a piano sound.
2. Dense Foliage [3:19]
* Disco beats with not gorgeous (but savage) sounds.
3. Morning Moon [4:18]
* Two Refrains get entangled together at last. One is spirited & complicated, and the other is plaintive & simple.
4. An Order in Ripples [2:05]
* "Chopin meets Hard Rock", with only piano & drums.
* I used 3/4 time & 7/8 time besides 4/4 time in this track, but I tried not to be a show-off man… so maybe you don't notice.
* This track starts with 170 BPM, but it slowly accelerates & finally it reachs over 220 BPM.
* This track contains two exact opposites… one is very complicated but another is very simple.
5. Sasameyuki [5:30]
* “Samaseyuki” is is a serial novel by the Japanese author Junichirō Tanizaki. In English, it is called as “The Makioka Sisters”.
* “Samaseyuki” meens a light snowfall, and I tried to express it with piano.
* It contains many percussions. I tried to use them like Can.
6. Amber (Some Could Depart, Some Couldn’t) [2:13]
* So simple ballade. You may be able to play with two fingers.
7. I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing [2:48]
* Motown beats.
* I intentionally wrote so catchy melody with mainly using major keys.
8. Evening Dress (Another Kiss) [2:01]
* I tried to make a track like bossa nova, but the finished is nothing but a strange one…
* Modulations come twice.
* It becomes like trance music in the second interlude.
9. Alexander [3:01]
* Riffs have a taste like jazz.
* BPM changes like 140 > 180 > 140 > 180.
* I did a shred like Edward Van Halen.
10. Necrophoenix [10:51]
* Some call it psychedelic, some make it sanctify, some get bored.
* A little bit similar to 70’s Miles.
11. Morning Moon II / Back to Your Blue Hour [6:16]
* A savage remix of track 3.
* If your player has a function of repeating albums, you could smoothly go back to track 1.
