*すっかり日の落ちるのが早くなってうら悲しい今日この頃、やけに万感迫るアルバムを買ってしまいました。元カーズのハエ男リック・オケイセック氏の３ｒｄソロ・アルバム「ファイアボール・ゾーン」。前に２ｎｄを買ったのは発売当時８６年だからえらい久しぶりになってしまった。あんなに感動したのに話題を聞かなくなると忘れてしまうとはまこと勝手しちゃって＆申し訳なく。制作はリックさん本人となんと元シックのナイル・ロジャースさん。なんつう組み合わせだ。ちょっと想像出来ず、しかし聴いてみたら目から鱗がバリバリ剥がれ落ちました。全編何も変わらぬリックさん音楽です。あのカエル声であのキャッチーな曲が次々と登場。そしてナイル氏の音。あのレッツ・ダンスとマドンナのビッグ・ビート。気が付けばちゃんと鳴ってる。思い起こすにお互い７０’ｓ後半同じ時代に頭角を現して活躍したライバル通し。全く畑が違ってシンクロすることなど当時は考えられず。その後、ナイルさんはプロデューサーで一世を風靡してリック兄貴は貧乏でカーズ解散とか信じられない噂の後、ソロ街道に。これ解散後の初レコードなんだよな。そこでお二人で仕事。ナイル氏サウンドも今は昔になってしまった頃。遠くは無いか。パワー・ステーションが８５年だから。近いだけにやけに古く印象があった時だ。だから商売的には全く有利なんてことは無くて。それでも組む必要があった。そんな音楽です。派手な８０’ｓサウンドの寵児だったけど自分たちの音楽はそんなヤワなもんでは無いと証明する為に。全然気張りつうものは無く。老成してるってのとも違うな。静かにじっとこの時の自分を見つめているって感じ。ロック・ミュージシャンってなかなかうまく歳を取るって難しいかもしれません。渋い路線に早突入しちまうのも悲しさ充満ですし、かといって張り切って若音楽だんねんっててのもそれよか悲しい。シーンから一歩退いた時、こうやってじっくりアルバムを作れたのは幸運なのかもしれませぬ。それはリック兄貴の揺るがぬ音楽情熱の賜物でも有り。聴いててじわじわじわじわ否応無しに伝わってきます。この４年後にウィザーのプロデューサーとしてシーン表舞台に復活。こんな腰の据わった音楽人に助言を受けられた彼らは何と幸運なことか。歌う以外はほとんど口をきかないで静かな男では無いかと思います。気が付いたらそっとそばから離れていなくなってしまいそうだからこちらから迎えにいかなくては。９月２７日に新譜「ネクスターデイ」が出る。

SORRY,Mistranslation multi.
*Setting the day completely becomes early and the coming up emotion has bought the approaching album awfully nowadays sentimental with no paticular reason. 3rd solo album "Fireball zone" of fly man Rick Ocasecc of former Carz. It has become great and after a long time because it is the sale this time 86 years to buy 2nd ahead. It ..selfish & of Makoto.. apologizes to forget if the topic is not heard though it was impressed so much. Production is Mr. Rick himself and very Nile Rogers of former chic. It is combination. The scale peeled off Barbary and dropped from eyes when it was not possible to imagine for a moment and it listened. It is Mr. Rick music that doesn't change by whole volume how many. That ..that frog opinion.. Kyoc ..not obtaining.. appears one after another. And, Nile's sound. That Let's dance and Madonna's Big beats. It rings neatly if noticing it. Rival who makes a conspicuous figure in the same age as recalling in the latter half of each other 70's and was active. At that time, it is possible to be quite field different neither or to do the synchronized. Afterwards, the big brother of Rick takes the world by storm as a producer by the Nile and after the rumor that it is poor and the Carz dissolution is unbelievable, : to the solo highway. That is the first record after being possible to come dissolves. It works there by the couple. When old times have come, the Nile sound also : now. Isn't it far?Because the power station is 85 years. It is time when it in there is an impression awfully old because it is near. Therefore, there doing business at all. Still, it was necessary to unite it. It is such music. Our music will be proven that there is no such Yawa though it was popular writer of gay 80's soundThere is no effort at all. Old doing Tiga ..groan.. .I at this time am quietly quietly watched and the feeling. The rock musician might be quite ..Sai.. ..taking.. .... difficult. It is rushing into sadness ..earliness.. filling, and . of Wacaongac. .... enthusiastic a bitter routeNo do be known whether it is lucky to be able to make the album by doing so when moving backward from the scene by one step deliberately. It shakes and has the result of music zeal about the big brother of Rick. It listens and is transmitted forcibly gradually gradually. It will revive to the scene table stage as a producer of Wizar in these four years. What lucky things they to whom advice was received by the music person who divided of such a waist are!I do not think that singing hardly talks and it exists in a quiet man. When you do not go for receiving from here because of seeming not away from nearby quietly if it notices it. New score "Necstardei" goes out on September 27.
