Naoki Kenji: Versatile (2006) | CBR@320Kbps

review:
Versatile. A title that can be interpreted in as many ways as the artist himself, or in fact the eleven new productions on the disc: free and unfettered, constantly transforming, for every kind of moment and fielding a wide range of talents.Once again Kenji has accomplished the volte face of keying into his Asiatic musical backbone while simultaneously osmosing western influences and distilling the whole into his own unmistakable musical style. With sophisticated compositions and surehand keyboards, with no vulgar sampling orgies or casting around for the next best loop, and free of the typical sultry clutter of MOR-lounge-muzak. The opening instrumental, “La Musique Japonaise” sets the agenda, with noticeable influences from YMO and Sakamoto oozing sweetly from every pore, complete with bass accents, subliminal pad sequences and caressing melodies.The real secret behind Naoki? Allowing artificial sounds to reach out into bright natural light. Whether in the hypnotically far Eastern ambiency of “Haru”, or in “Oshistuki” – a soft jazzy dreamcatcher that gently echoes away -, or as a fresh Balearic breeze like the one that rustles past us in “Rain On”. And yet: apart from his multifaceted lounge structures.A special earmark is destined for the album highlights “Let It Flow” and “Bedtime”, both penned with the finest of pop instincts.A delicate piano cascade here, soulfully interlaced guitar sounds there, surrounded by scented etheric scapesounds and a strong whiff of jazz – once again Kenji has drawn on every inch of the talent he has honed to perfection over the last 10 years.

Tracklist:
01. La Musique Japonaise
02. Haru
03. Let It Flow (jazz mix)
04. Ashita No Taiyo
05. Bedtime
06. Tsunami
07. Oshitsuki

09. Mainichi pia
10. Seaside club
11. Endless

review:
After a 2 Year period of pause Naoki Kenji is presenting his 7th Longplayer named ‘Less ordinary’. This CD contains more vocal features as previous releases of german-japanese soundgenius. On this album again he has invited several vocal guests such as front lady Pat Appleton (De-Phazz) on the track ‘Modern Unreal’, or the well known Nu-Jazz Formation ‘Jazzamor’. Beside this, Kenji did 2 songs with the known producer/songwriter Torsten Stenzel – -Tonight- and -Into the deep Sea’.Beside the wellknown chillout sounds you`ll find also some deephouse flavored tracks next to ambient tunes. Summer inspiring timeless album!
