SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS - MOVIN' (new single)
mine is serial number 3702 btw.

SAPS - Movin

Movin' (feat. Maia Hirasawa on vocals) is FANTASTIC!
It sounds like it could make some headway into the mainstream charts / mainstream listeners... it's such a nice lively tune and yet simple and easy to digest. This is party music! What SAPS are best at doing. Superb energetic happy party music. And again they've delivered! BIG LOVE to Shacho for writing this tune, and Maia for doing such a good job on the vocals (not sure if I really like that it's so forward in the mix though...)

Not feeling the b-side "Armageddon" so much... I think it's a cover version? It's written by Wayne Shorter.

The c-side however, is great too. It's got the latin thing going on and all the SAPS signatures are strong and present in this one. This tune gets better as you go along...

I think it's really cool how SAPS have refined their sound over the years and yet kept their focus as a live band that makes the best party music in the world with a jazz signature.

Great work on this :) Loving it.
And onward to the DVD...

Okay. THIS DVD is really really good.
There's a section in GO NEXT! which almost sounds like prog rock because Josei gets up and plays the keytar!

He can also be seen doing that in U WANT MORE, but the new DVD is already much more rare. I wonder what the number on mine is.

I won't have my copy until two weeks from now, and the DVD will probably never get uploaded at any of the big Japanese music-sharing communities. Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra's next album is holding it up.

have u listened to the single yet?

New SAPS album to be expected soon...
Just heard a tune called "Sexual Hungry" from BBC Radio 1...

It is very different from what they've previously done. This is still a jazz tune of epic proportions and it's got quite number of the SAPS signatures... but this one sounds like... procession music for an Indian emperor or something. Quite cool...

Excited about upcoming album!

Magnetic Soil is not bad. Really love Freedom Time
