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)

「映画にドラマはいらない。ただそこに人間がいて、何かが匂ってくればいいんだ」。かつて小津安二郎はインタビューでそう語ったという。ドゥルーズは小津の映像を「純粋な視覚的・聴覚的状況」と呼んだ。映像デザイン、あるいは環境映像的か。確かに小津の映画は無音でも楽しめる。彼はあの時代、すでに我々とは違う次元で映画を捉えていたのだろう。小津に影響を受けたという米映画『コロンバス』を観ながら、そんなことを考えた。

ロン・ハワード監督による、マペット作家ジム・ヘンソンのドキュメンタリーを見た。想像以上にエネルギッシュで、多忙な創作人生に驚かされる。 幼少期に親しんだ『セサミ・ストリート』に対し、『ダーク・クリスタル』や『ラビリンス』、『ストーリーテラー』といったダークファンタジーは、当時「やんちゃなファンク青年」(笑)だった僕は夢中にはなれなかった。ただ、この時代のジムなしでは、ギレルモ・デル・トロやジェームズ・キャメロンなどの異才が頭角を現さなかったかもしれない。

今朝、英語圏のSNSでは「エヌビディアは実際に利益を出している。どこが一体AIバブルなんだ?」という暴論が飛び交っていた。実のところ、株価よりも売上が膨張している状況こそバブルとして深刻だ。「売れているから大丈夫」という主張は、裏を返せば「売れなくなった瞬間に、それを支える理屈が何一つなくなる」という危うさと表裏一体だから。日本をダンスフロアにしてどんちゃん騒ぎをしている海外の機関投資家に要注意。音楽が止まった時、彼らはいない。
