Beautiful Scarlet
2 stars Not very good

Kappa is the last album by this Japanese band Samurai, which was led by Mickey Curtis. There are five songs on this album and none of them are good. Low quality recordings full of fuzz, constant drum soloing, poor vocals and dated instrumentations fill this 42 minute album.

Trauma is the 10 minute opener

It has vocals, they're not memorable. After this there is a decent organ section which disappears for a quiet section. I can't remember anything after this because I stopped paying attention. That's pretty amazing considering I heard it like five minutes ago.

Same old reason

Classic late 60s early 70s organ drenched ditty...

Daredatta

A soft japanese song with acoustic guitar and bells. Very chill.

Vision of tomorrow

Same as same old reason. I guess that was their vision of tomorrow.

King Riff and Snowflakes

Terrible sidelong suite. Heavy organ opening that becomes bass solo then two drum solos. Then another heavy section which ends abruptly so you can get more heavenly drumming!

Overall Kappa is a bad album that never gets good and has many downright terrible sections.

Beautiful Scarlet | 2/5 |
