説明
(US / KINDERCORE / KC029 / 1999 / MEDIA:EX- / JACKET:EX- 外袋にハイプ・ステッカー付き)
90’Sインディー・サイケデリック・ポップの最高峰！まどろんだ泣きメロの洪水！7インチ付きのUS ORIGINAL盤！
名作だらけのELEPHANT 6 / KINDERCORE勢のなかにおいて、個人的にも特に思い入れたっぷりなのがこのOF MONTREALの3RD。冒頭を飾る「OLD FAMILIAR WAY」に、究極の泣きメロ・ピアノ・ポップ「NEAT LITTLE DOMESTIC LIFE」、景色を捻じ曲げるようなシンセ・フレーズが広がっていく「THE MARCH OF THE GAY PARADE」、緩急ついた曲展開、変幻自在のアレンジに心躍る「A COLLECTION OF POEMS ABOUT WATER」など、アルバム通してソフトロック/ハーモニー・ポップとして素晴らしい内容です。7インチ、インサート付きのUS ORIGINAL盤。大推薦！
