Richard Luces ..Caribbean Christmas music Steel drum, or "pan", is considered (at least in Trinidad and Tobago) to be the only real musical instrument invented in the 20th century. It has come a long way in less than a century. From the marginalized means of expression of the marginalized social classes, it has hit the mainstream. These two albums illustrate that perfectly.Tropical Sunday by Richard Luces, a Trinidadian living in Canada, blends keyboard and pan. The selections range from Schubert to spirituals to Bony M to Soeur Sourire. The arrangements are all true to the originals, but you can hear the pan. Its sound unites the pieces, but without making them homogenous.The works on this CD are all inspirational, though I admit that I had to stretch my imagination to see where "Every Breath You Take" fits in. (Hint: Pretend it's God singing it.)Voices 'n Steel unites two of Trinidad and Tobago's most famous groups: a renowned choir and a celebrated steel band. The pieces are almost all classical. If you don't look at the CD first, you'd never know from accent or tone where the artists were from.Voices 'n Steel shows the versatility of pan. The All Stars are an orchestra, not a band, and they sound like any other orchestra. An expert can make a steel drum sound like practically anything, and these are experts. As for the voices, I can't detect the Trini accent (and my in-laws are Trinidadian).To really hear the difference between the two albums, listen to their renditions of Schubert's "Ave Maria." Luces' version can't be mistaken for anything but pan. The Trinidad All Stars' rendition doesn't sound much like traditional pan at all.Taken together, these two albums give an excellent overview of where pan has gone in the last half-century. Its versatility is amazing.

CS BeatmaniaIIDX DJ TROOPERS 段位認定 SP8段-Player:Djgashmusic:STEEL NEEDLE(HYPER)☆10→Innocent Walls(HYPER)☆12→MENDES(HYPER)☆11→Übertreffen(ANOTHER)☆11※全体的に難しい8段。前作のGOLDと比べるとかなりきつくなっているので要注意である。幸い、白壁は2STAGE目にあるので、白壁を通過したら休憩推奨。ラストのマサルは(Übertreffenの意味は「○○より勝る」から)階段や同時押しが多く、テクニカルな譜面なので、これの要素を念頭に入れておく。できれば使って欲しくないが、いざとなったら餡蜜を使うのも手。
