Glossary of Vintage Sounds
The title of this review came to me after reading in Tempo Magazine on what Denny Sakrie has to say about Sore’s debut album, Centralismo. I completely agree with him on their music that takes us back to the retro 60’s. The assemble of strings, guitar and piano produced a mellow romantic songs that are rich in melody that has influence of pyschedelic to classic sounds.
Some might question whether the vintage sounds merely a decoration or were philosopically based. I say, whatever….let it be. The lack of fix identity of the music and the sounds that are mixed in genre has given the taste of the past and taken us back to the time that were simpler. These sounds that were inspired by a sense of the city in the 50’s and 60’s as portrayed by the cover design illustrated by Mayumi Haryoto has enough power to offer us flavors that are not only local but also one that can be appreciated universally.
The album is produced by Aksara Record and available locally at ak.’sa.ra prodak and demajors independent music industry. If you ask me is it worth buying, I would say yes it is.
