THE CRUSADERS / CHAIN REACTION / LP /

(JPN / MCA / VIM-5558 / MEDIA:EX- / JACKET:EX- 帯付)

エレピが滴るメロウ・ジャズ・ファンク/ネタモノ・フュージョン！
JERU THE DAMAJA「YOU CAN’T STOP THE PROPHET」やULTRAMAGNETIC MC’S「CHORUS LINE PT. 2」ネタにもなったタイトル曲「CHAIN REACTION」、DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN 「THANK YOUSE」やMASTA ACE FEAT. APOCALYPSE「OBSERVATIONS」でサンプリングされた「HALLUCINATE」、「I FELT THE LOVE」など、 JOE SAMPLEのとろけるようなエレピ、LARRY CARLTONの絡みつくようなギターが素晴らしいです。
