高崎 晃 Akira Takasaki - 輪 Wa
Review by jane media
Akira Takasaki, the legendary Japanese guitarist and founding member of the heavy metal band Loudness, has released a new solo album titled 輪 Wa. The album showcases Takasaki's virtuosic guitar playing and his ability to blend different musical genres seamlessly.
輪 Wa features ten tracks, each of which showcases Takasaki's technical prowess and his ability to write complex yet catchy guitar riffs. The album opens with the title track "輪 Wa," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its heavy, driving rhythm and intricate guitar work.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Mystery," which features a haunting melody and a soaring guitar solo that is sure to send shivers down the listener's spine. "Chasing the Wind" is another highlight, with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus.
Throughout the album, Takasaki incorporates elements of jazz, blues, and classical music into his heavy metal sound, creating a unique and dynamic listening experience. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and element of the mix given ample space to shine.
