音ノ感ジ - コンナ気分ノ音

で，問題の A面．ヴォーカリーズといえば聴こえはいいですが，かなり「あの時代」風なフリーキーでかつ幻想的なスキャット．それに Oliver Nelson の (一聴フリーキーなんやけどやっぱり理路整然とした) ソプラノがねちねちと絡む．私的にはかなりこたえられない好アルバムです．ドラムスの Dick Fisher さんなる人もかなりいい感じで場を盛り上げてはります．

BTW, the A side - some may say this is a kind of “vocalese”, but actually it's a kind of freaky album like an illusion, featuring Oliver Nelson's (also freaky at first listening but turns out to be very logical) also improvisations. That's what's I really come to like. The drummer named Dick Fisher also digs great shots for this chemical mood.

こういうのを A面に配したら，Nelson さんらしい見事なアレンジの B面の分が悪いばかり．いや名うてのミュージシャンを豪華にフィーチャーした B面もいつものように見事な出来なんですけど．

Another nice Side-B by Oliver Nelson orchestra might be at a disadvantage against freaky Side-A. But Side-B is of course innevitable and awesome as always, featuring gorgeous soloists.

この The Sound Of Feeling, 私のコレクターとしてのメインターゲットである Mercury の傍系 Limelight レーベルにもアルバムを残してるんですよね... 電子音楽，アヴァンギャルド，民族音楽，実験音楽なんでもござれの，後期 Limelight は高値のものが多くて，なかなか集まりません．

BTW, The Sound Of Feeling also left an album on Limelight label, a subsidiary of Mercury (which is my primary concern as a vinyl collector)... Limelight label in the late 1960s has unusual titles of Electronic music, Avant-Garte, Mid-East Oriental music, contemporary experimental music etc., most of which are so expensive to obtain. Actually I have few LPs of later Limelight.
