I've been listening to these guys since you posted their music a while ago. They're really good.

A bit of a typical pop ballad from 80s Japan. But I like world music, so thumbs up.

Interesting detour from the usual stuff, didn't know these guys.

Care to elaborate on that?

The composition is a bit AI like to me. Is it yours?

The new orchestrated version is quite a lot better than this original. But its not from the '80s.

We could say that Love, in fact, has quite a lot of power.

Yes, she was a terrific singer. She even looks gorgeous in this performance too. No autotune, of course.

Its always nice to discover good music, and a place like this, where you can share tunes with similar minded people, helps precisely with that.

The harp sounds are definitely special, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by the bass sound and tone achieved by this particular piece. The cartridge in the turntable also gives a lot of definition to the audio, but not to the point of being harsh. I think the first time I listened to this album back in the 80s, or 90s, it was recorded on standard casette... so there's quite a leap in quality this time around.

Indeed, thanks for the historical note Rolando. The lyrics in english are like this (deepl.com translation)

He walks on the street

Don't say where

His brain full of heavy metal

And his liver is dead

His veins are open

And smell like formalin

It's all very distressing

Like he is in Vienna

All of Vienna

Is on heroin today

All of Vienna

Dreams with Mozambin

All of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna

Also takes cocaine

In the ball season at all

You can see all of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna

Is so wonderfully there, there, there

Cocaine and codeine

Heroin and mozambine

Make us go, go, go

There, there, one, two, three

Cocaine and codeine

Heroin and mozambine

Make us go, go, go, go, go

Three, four

I rather find that Iron Maiden is probably one of the more consistent bands with its output, actually. You either like them or you don't, and that's a good thing by itself because it shows that, regardless of musical taste, they know their trade. Its not an easy thing to be consistent.

With Black Sabbath, I have a lot more problems because they have entire albums which are, for me, quite terrible from a song writing perspective. I don't mean a couple of songs, I mean from start to finish. If I pick one record I haven't listened to yet, I just have no idea if I'm going to like it or not.

With Quiet Riot I agree. They have records which honestly kind of suck.

Sure... but to be honest, I rarely enjoy the entire output of most metal bands. Finding one which had consistently composed great songs is a bit of a challenge, despite the very talented interpreters and shredders from the genre. What you describe could be sort of a common disease.

Much of Black Sabbath I find hard to stomach, for instance. On the other hand, I really like a couple of their albums.
