⊿ Triangle Track Review
Perfume’s new album titled “⊿” (Triangle) is scheleduled for July 8, includes 3 previously released songs as singles: “love the world“, “dream fighter” and “one room disco“. 2 songs that were included with singles: “edge (triangle mix)” and “negai (album version)“, both of them rearrenged for this new album.
The rest of the tracks on the album (7) -including “night flight” that was recently promoted along a new TV and web commercial with Pino- are brand new tracks:
· Take Off. Overlapped synth arpeggio and breakbeats, introduction to the album.
· NIGHT FLIGHT. 80′s techno-pop style song, high tempo (145BPM) and 8bit sounds.
· Kiss and Music. Funk-groove songs about erotic/love songs but the mood of this song has an opposite mood using a moog‘s arpeggio, and the vocals are inorganic, mixing it up in a kitsch tune.
· Zero Gravity. Jazzy electro piano, bossa mood song.
· I still love U. 80′s new music love song. An impressive melody line.
· The best thing. House love song that begins with a synth arpeggio solo. Nakata Yasutaka’s stylemark.
· Speed of Sound. Percussive, latin-house beat basis, jazzy club track. Vocals are only words.
