6/1/2023 0 Comments Casiopea 1979 downloadI do feel like this is a good album rather than an essential release. ‘Swallow’ for instance has some great solos from both players, and in fact, I’m reminded of Al Di Meola at times. But that’s not a weakness, the accessibility and melody are nice features, and it’s also not to say there are no solos at all. Their first album includes a horn section on several songs, and even strings at times, but the chief focus is on the guitar of leader Issei Noro and the keys of Minoru Mukaiya, both which spend as much time establishing texture, working on riffs and melody as they do soloing or digging into anything tangled. ![]() ![]() Casiopea do fairly slick fusion that can get spacey but is mostly funk-influenced.
