V.A. "Bitter Grooves - Pre-AOR Styled Soul" CD
A bitter taste for cafe time
A groundbreaking compilation that highlights "soul music on the eve of the birth of AOR"
DJ SAKAIDER, whose compilation series "NEO BLUE EYED SOUL" focused on the masterpieces of 21st century AOR to city pop artists, has received positive reviews, presents his latest work, which approaches black music. Moreover, it is groundbreaking in that it selects only "soul music on the eve of the birth of AOR"! AOR is synonymous with the sophisticated urban sound of white musicians that flourished in the late 70s. The sound that black musicians played from the eve of its birth to the same era was an exquisite blend of the bitter taste unique to soul and the sophistication of AOR. Such stylish yet not too sweet "stylish grooves for adults" are the perfect match for background music during cafe time. As high-quality cafe music that replaces bossa nova and lounge music, "BITTER GROOVES" will lightly color your time.
