Rising review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 25 October 2011 12:15

ロニーを除く元エルフのメンバーが脱退し、元ジェフ・ベック・グループのコージー・パウエルとトニー・カーレイ、ジミー・ベインが加わった。曲の完成度が高く、まさに様式美。レインボーの最高傑作とも言われている。なお、この作品には、ニューヨークミックスとロサンゼルスミックスという異なるミックスが存在するほか、故コージーの自宅からラフミックスが発見されている。タロットウーマンのイントロはとっても格好が良いし、スターゲイザーやア・ライト・イン・ブラックのスリリングな演奏は絶品。これぞまさにブリティッシュロックの王道。

Rainbow - Rising

Posted : 15 years, 6 months ago on 29 October 2008 02:07

"Rising" was probably Ritchie Blackmore's finest creation. But Ronnie James Dio's contribution to this album cannot be denied, with his extraordinary power and range demonstrated at it's best on tracks such "A Light In The Black" and "Tarot Woman". And if there is a better 15 minutes or so of heavy rock ever recorded that the "Stargazer"/"Light in the Black" combination I have yet to hear it. "Rising" is six tracks of classics never again to be matched by post-Dio lineups. Despite the hit singles with Bonnet and Turner, every true Rainbow fan knows the power this mark 2 lineup had and if there ever is a reunion of Rainbow this (with the exception of Cozy Powell - RIP) can be the only line-up of Rainbow we want to see. My cat jumped onto my turntable when "Tarot Woman" was playing after I came home from school one day, making a scratch across the keyboard intro. The CD version does not sound complete without the regular 'crack' sound that this created!
