Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

Pop fans rejoice: Here's yet another delightful concept album from a member of the Elephant Six family, Of Montreal, who actually hail from Athens, Georgia. Of Montreal are more like third cousins to the E6 clan; their sound is cohesively pop oriented and distinctively quaint. The songs are bouncy, keyboard- and vocal-driven gems that collapse barbershop harmonies and well-enunciated, Tin Pan Alley vocalizations with Anglo mid-'60s pop (especially that of the ever-popular Kinks). The lyrics on Of Montreal's third full-length weave an intricate story in childrens-book logic, with invisible trees, a miniature philosopher, and a cast of hundreds. The words from the buoyant "Fun Loving Nun" (whose chorus appears to have been sung by the mice from Babe) can be seen as The Gay Parade's moral: "Some of us get covered up by the world, become bitter from our loneliness and forget our dreams." --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars 底なしのおもちゃ箱!, 2005/3/29
By A Customer
「うわぁ、おっきな積み木のお城ができたぞ!」
子供の頃に、時間をかけて大きなものを作った積み木遊び。それを崩す時の快感は、例えがたいものがありますよね。
そんな気持ちを例えてしまえるのが、この1枚。オブ・モントリオールの『The Gay Parade』です。

完璧に計算されつくした音なのか、はたまた偶然やまぐれで作り上げてしまったのか。
それがわからないほどに良く出来た音楽であると思います。
アート、と言えるのかもしれませんね。
聴いていると、ウキウキというかワクワクというか、キラキラした思いがムクムクと、湧き上がってきてしまうんですよね。
とっても素敵な音楽を作っているんだなぁと実感する作品だと思います。

実は密かに、幼児や小さいお子さんと遊ぶときのBGMに最適だと思っているんですが、どうなんでしょう?
こんなの聴いて育っちゃうと、とてもアーティスティックな大人になりそうですよね。
是非、おしゃれなママさんにおすすめしたい1枚です。

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gay Parade, 2007/3/27
最初の頃の一連の作品の中では多分、不思議な魅力そのままにコンセプトアルバム風の持ち味を含めて、一番の力作という雰囲気。妙なSEからシャッフルで切ないピアノ、やがて不思議なコーラスに包まれてバンドがはじまるOld Familiar Way。やや急ぎ足というか、無理にテンポアップさせたような性急な8ビート、張り上げるKevin、少々不思議なコードのFun Loving Nun。SMiLE的なバンジョー使いが印象的なTulip BarooはBrian Children直球のストレンジな楽器と構成。この思いつきにKevinのスゴさというのか底力というのか、そういうのを感じる。シンプルにポールライクなピアノバッキングでキュートなメロディーと騒ぎ立てるSEが素敵なJacques Lamure。March of the Gay Paradeは、フェリーニのサントラみたいなバッキング、大仰に歌い上げる雰囲気とシリアルなコード進行ががどことなくコミカル。アルバムの主軸になるような持ち味。それだけのことでどことなくコンセプトアルバムのように聴かせてしまうのはこのアルバムの不思議な魅力。
