Gig Soup - Dark Model Saga

We have continued to have reviews on “Saga” from news and music websites such as The 405, Beat Dot Media, and Gig Soup. Following the vol.1, we would like to provide the excerpts from some of them here. We appreciate that these journalists and critics picked “Saga” and wrote the awesome articles.

“The record speaks on invincibility, it deals with the basic human desire to succeed and to be bulletproof, and with Saga, Dark Model is bulletproof.”

(Marie Flounoy, The 405)

“Oe is clearly a genius when it comes to music that shouldn’t work well together becoming something quite enjoyable and inspiring.”

(Jon Niles, Gig Soup Music, Originality:90/100, Content:91/100)

“You’ve watched epic sagas on the big screen with songs that played in the background as the hero saved the girl or the good guys battled to save the lives of everyone. You’ve felt that power, and that power is something you can feel when you listen to Dark Model. It’s like an epic adventure for your ears.”

(Yvonne Glasgow, Beat Dot Media)

“Listening to “Saga,” Dark Model’s sophomore release, I felt like I was simultaneously being pulled back into the past and catapulted into the future.”

(Chris Kompanek, The Huffington Post)

“On “Saga,” fans of both orchestral music and dance floor anthems will unite as this album does a masterful job at combining both genres seamlessly together. At times, there will be an epic, over-the-top choir that is filled with intense emotions and at other times, the pulsating beats will have the listener swaying to the infectious rhythms.”

(Isiah Reyes, Enter The Venture)

今の時代、「無関心でいられること」や「情報を遮断できること」は、時に関心や好奇心を持つこと以上に重要な態度であり、知性だと思う。西洋社会、特にアメリカでは何もしないことや黙ること、状況をただ静観することは、「敗北」や「無能」と結びつけられてきた。「即座に何か反応する」動的な姿勢こそが美徳とされてきたが、その美徳が現在、理性を食いつぶす最大の仇となって自分たちに返ってきているような気がする。

畑仕事にもガーデニングにも無縁だけれど、自分の生業(音楽制作とレーベル運営)は農業や庭作りに似ている点があると感じる。音楽は農作物のように天候や自然災害の影響を受けないし、雑草や害虫に頭を悩ませることもない。ただ、畑を耕し、作物を育て、収穫を待ちながら次の種をまくという「システムを設計し、サイクルを回して、徐々に成長させる」部分には共通性がある。この番組でジェレミーが設計するエコシステムは、反面教師かな(笑)。

「それは自律神経の乱れです!」最近は「自律神経」という言葉が科学的知見から離れ、一種の「マジックワード」と化しているところがある。海外でこの言葉(automatic nerve)を使うのは医療従事者くらい。身体や心の不調を「身体システム(神経)のせい」と捉える日本人と、「メンタル(脳・心)のせい」と考える西洋人。と単純化するのは良くないけれど、これに関しては日本の風潮の方が話がこじれにくくて合理的だと思う。
