Look Into the Past (To See the Future)

如今想要得找这张作品是非常困难的事情了，这张由面向世界的日本DJ井上薫(Chari Chari)制作混音的不间断混音作品，可以说是将MONDAY那种无限制的自由开阔的声线表现得充分显着的最佳作品。从选曲和曲目顺序编排上就能看出制作非常的用心，每一首作品都是MONDAY不同心情和表情的写照，可以说是是一张色彩缤纷的作品。即使这一张作品是不间断混音版本在曲目的衔接上也是非常的自然流畅，完全不会让人感觉到突兀，简直像是一本将各种故事归结到一起的书一样，风格各异。 by Ted Mills A succinct and well-programmed retrospective of Tokyo's main jazz-soul chanteuse, this 13-track CD not only includes her album and single work, but remixes and notable cameos from early in her career on tracks by United Future Organization, Mondo Grosso, and Peace Force -- songs that first turned most people's ears to Michiru's smooth vocals. "Tree, Air, & Rain on the Earth (Night Fire Carnival)" is a funky samba shakeout created by Mondo Grosso, while "My Foolish Dream" features a giddy, jazzy waltz rhythm with nods to "Moondance," among others. There's also a brilliant trip-hop cover of Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down" featuring Peace Force. The many facets of Michiru are here: the acid jazz queen, the songwriter, and the mellow diva. A great place to start for the curious.
