The last Jimmy song I liked period was Mirage Residence and Wonderful Workers before that, but if we're just going by his more standard fusion fare... the majority of Mangekyou and parts of Herring Roe. If fusion really just revolves so heavily around HH rolling and whenever-I-feel-like-it kick, then I'm sorry to say I don't like it at all. I'll stick with Meikyoushisui if I want some jazz or big band that wasn't on The Weather Channel.
And as far as Tengu goes, I feel it was a really bad song as it was basically HH until the chorus-y part which is the same 3-4 beat phrase over and over, lather, rinse, repeat. It would've done well as maybe menu music, I guess. I'm not saying that all the other GFdm artists are so varied and never stick with a sound that works for them, but even Asaki and Kozo can radically change it up once and awhile.
Regardless, I'll always love Jimmy far more more than Thomas Howard (I'd say a million times more, but most people realize that a million times zero is still a big fat goose egg). Okay, a bit harsh but I think it's time for THL to, I 'unno, get fired or something. |
