Geister "Night Games [Japan Edition]" CD
A Japan-exclusive album of the best songs from Geyster's three latest albums released simultaneously! Selections by Kanazawa Hisakazu!
"Geyster, the project of the genius French hop creator Gaël Benjamin, has finally released a Japanese release. This is a special edition available only in Japan, containing only the urban pop tracks from his masterpiece KNIGHT GAMES, released in 2015 in three CDs." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu
Since its formation in 1999, Geyster (currently a solo unit by Gael Benjamin) has been consistently releasing wonderful albums that express the love of the old West Coast in a modern way, and is a leader of modern French AOR, popular here in Japan. In 2015, he produced a new album, Knight Games, in a trilogy, "I" to "III," and decided to release the three titles simultaneously. This trilogy was a very ambitious project that mixed experimental and instrumental songs with pop songs, similar to The Beatles' White Album and Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything?, but perhaps some fans were unable to get all three titles, or just wanted Geister's AOR sound? This time, "Light Mellow Searches" is a compilation of West Coast/AOR songs from the trilogy selected jointly by Kanazawa Toshikazu and Geyster, and will be delivered as a "Japan Edition". Starting with the ever-exhilarating masterpiece M9 "HEAL" and M10 "Not An Ordinary Girl" featuring Brazilian groove master Eddie Motta, the album is filled with irresistible pop sounds for both old and new AOR fans, with a total of 15 songs. We hope you enjoy the new "Knight Games" that is only available in Japan.
