【再ストックしました】チープな打ち込み、鍵盤、カシオトーン、JOEの歌の個性、コーラスやトランペット。全てが最高すぎる名曲「Wild Dream」筆頭に、なんとも魅力的甘いDIYサウンド。89年の隠れた名盤が発掘されました。

「Wild Dream」をコンピレーションに収録し世に送りだしたNOISE IN MY HEADのレーベル〈EFFICIENT SPACE〉サポートのもと、USニュージャージーのイタリア系アメリ人のシンガーJOE TOSSINIが89年にリリースしたカルトな一枚が再発!バンドのメンバーには、FANIA ALLSTARSに在籍し、M.A.W.のヒットでも知られるTITO PUENTEとINDIAの「To Be In Love」の作曲でも知られるJOEY LATTANZIたち凄腕のミュージシャンたちが参加していて、彼らとアトランタのナイトクラブで出会い、セッションから発展した録音。僕は一曲目「If I Should Fall In Love」(sample2)からたまりません。ラティーナ、愛に溢れたドラマチックな世界。 (サイトウ)

The Atlantic City basement sessions are a low budget, high romance testament to Tossini’s character and the power of positive thinking. From the defiant, Casiotone samba of If I Should Fall In Love, to Wild Dream’s dizzying escapism and the native tongue croons of Sulla Luna and Sincerita, Lady Of Mine hums with the inimitable magic of a true original. Piercing the heart with an effectively sparse combination of humming keys, CompuRhythm drums, horn flourishes and backing divas, ample room was left for Tossini to frankly deliver h
