*タイム・パッセージス。アラン・パーソンズ監督アル・スチュアート主演音楽でやる映画大ヒット・シリーズの第２弾です。柳の下の２匹目のどぜう、手口が全く同じやんかなんつうわかったようなことを申す方は無理に聴いて貰わなくていいもん。この稀に見るベスト相性のコンビ作が１回の邂逅で終わってしまうなんて勿体無さ過ぎます。完全に音楽のツボを見つけた両者がお送りする珠玉の曲郡、出て来る曲出て来る曲瞳孔が開きっぱなしになるのだ。曲の素敵さ歌の味わい深さもさることながらアレンジって凄いよな。ここまで音で想像力膨らませてくれるなんて。前作大ヒット「イヤー・オブ・ザ・キャット」に続くタイトル曲「タイム・パッセージス」はこれはもうまたまたキラーです。今度完璧なシングルで讃えさせていただければ。他もよくてよくて一つ一つ突っ込ませていただいたら三日三晩じゃすみません。もしまだの方がおられましたらご自身で是非経験して下さい。特に好きなのがラストの「エンド・オブ・ザ・デイ」。このイントロのアコ・ギターの美しさと来たら。言葉失うほどで。言葉失っていたら出て来るアルさんの歌。これは和歌です。簡潔にして詩情。さっと風のように吹いてきて去っていく。この終わり方の余情と来たらもう。かなりセンチメンタルな音楽です。しかしけっしてベタベタしておらず。それはアル氏の何てたって貴族さんですから、高潔さつうか気品つうかそうゆうのもありますが、これは製作者全員の音楽に対するプライドも有るかと。聴く側への信頼も。泣かせるツボはわかってるけどそこを裸にして見せたら下品だ俺は嫌だ貴方も嫌だろうと。まあもう一つ重要な理由もあります。ＭＴＶ以前はアメリカでヒット曲を聴くのはラジオが主流でした。しかも広いですからアメリカ。ラジオだけで全土に広がるのには１月２月平気でかかったりします。ですからこってこてな出来にしちまうと最初の喰い付きは良いけど５回も聴けば飽きちゃいますからとてもとても評判を得ることなど不可能。しいてはヒットせずレコードも生産されず聴ける人も聴けなくなっちゃう。奥の深い何十回の聴きに耐え得るタフな音楽を作らざるを得ないと。みんながそうするから次の人は益々タフになるって素晴らしい好循環が生まれたのが７０’ｓでした。これが崩れたのが「ビデオ・キル・ざ・レディオ・スター」って訳でＭＴＶのおかげ。同時に全土に広がる映像。インパクト合戦になり音楽もそれにふさわしいものに。パンドラの箱開けちゃったらもう止まらずこれでもかとツボ裸合戦でまあ、笑ってるうちは良かったんだけどねえ。今度は悪循環に突入しちゃって。チャートが死んで今度はそれでもプライドを持つ続けている信頼するに足る人々を自分で探すってことになったと思うんですけどどうでしょうか。このアルバムが出た７８年はその境目、プライドの音楽が一番充実してた最後の時代です。再びそうなればこんな素敵なことはないけど。今となってはかけがえの無く四の五も言わずとにかく大切にしたく。こんな清楚な音楽が大ヒットしてたんですわ。信じられますかいな。ヒプノシスのジャケットごとく部屋の中から見える広大な風景。裂け目から永遠の時に突入して宝物となります。撮影監督は弦名人アンドリュー・パウエル氏。バックはアラン・パーソンズ・オールスターズ。中にはアート・トリップ３世なんつう嬉しい名前も。ザッパ・マザースのあの方だ。

*Time Passages. It is the second bounce of the movie smash hit and the series done by Alain PERSON'S supervisor Al Stuart starring music. You may not forcibly listen the second , way under the willow mean the same and complete. The combination work of the seen best compatibility passes uncommonly ..this.. by one encounter ..the end.. ..Taim... Both who found the vital point of music completely become and the tune pupil that comes becomes an opening putting out the tune county of the sent gem and the tune that comes out. The arrangement besides the tasting depth of the wonderful song of the tune is ..terrible... The imagination swelling to here because of the sound. In title tune following former work smash hit "Year Ob Za Cat" "Time Passages", this is already the re-killer. If it is possible will praise it by this perfection and the single. I'm sorry on three evenings of the third when another will be good, be also good, and it thrust it one by one. Please experience by oneself by all means when there is Cata of. Especially, the liked one is "End Ob Za day. " of last. Beautifully of the Aco guitar of this introduction when it comes. Word ..loss... Song of Al who loses and comes out word in. This is a Japanese poem. It keeps concise and the poetic sentiment. It blows quickly like the wind and it leaves. Already with the charm of this how to end when it comes. It is considerably sentimental music. However, it never Betabetas it. It also how does leave by Mr. Al and because it is an aristocrat, does have pride to music all of those who produce it by of noble grace and this?Trust in the listened side also. When ..unpleasantness.. Ki might be also ..Ore ..ribaldry it.... unpleasant, the vital point where it is made to cry : if it makes nakedness there and it shows it though it is understood. There is probably a reason important by another one, too. The radio was a main current in listening to the hit in the United States before MTV. Moreover, it is American because it is wide. It unabashedly takes February January to extend to whole land only on the radio. Ts works and it is impossible to obtain the reputation very very much because it listens as many as five times and it gets tired though it is .... good. say therefore ..and the first..Be not able it dares not to become a hit, not to be produced the records, and to listen by the person who can listen. When you cannot help making tough music that can endure listening to tens of times that the interior is deep. Because everyone did so, it was 70's in the following person that a wonderful virtuous circle had arisen more tough. It is a favor of MTV in the translation that it is "Video Kil, sitting, and Redio star" that this collapsed. Image that spreads to whole land at the same time. It becomes an impact battle and music also : suitably to it. Oh dear, and when Pandora's box was opened, it has not stopped any longer and was good in this it and a vital point naked battle. while laughIt this time rushes into the vicious circle. How does the chart die this time and about the trustworthy people who are continuing by the possession of pride even so I in ..search.. though thought by he or she?78 years from which this album came out are the last ages when the music of the verge and pride was enhanced most. If it is so again though it is not wonderful ..so... When now comes, five without 4 the replacing wants not to be said and, anyway, to value it. ..the big hit of music neat ..so..... It is believed and .. Vast scenery seen from among jacket B shop of hypnosis. It becomes a treasure rushing into from the rip at the eternity. The taking a picture supervisor is bowstring expert Andrew Powell. Backing is Alain PERSON'S Orlstarz. Name of three art trip generations glad also : to the inside. It is Zappa Mazars that.
