{"product_id":"noriki-noriki","title":"NORIKI - Noriki","description":"Soichi Noriki's debut album Noriki (1983) showcases a polished blend of City Pop and jazz fusion, characterised by lush production and smooth, professional instrumentation. The album hits all the right notes for fans of the genre and does not lack the adventurous spirit found in Noriki's later esteemed work like Dream Cruise. Tracks like 'You Need Me' and 'Anyway' feature Yurie Kokubu's excellent vocals. 'Do What You Do' also provides a opportunity for her talent to shine. 'Black Duck' adds an edge with its distinct bass and brass sections, while 'Rag Box' stands out with its brisk tempo. Overall, the album excels in technical mastery, offering slick solos and pristine arrangements. Noriki is an enjoyable listen with many moments of excitement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(super cautious visual grade on vinyl due to a very light surface mark\u003cul class=\"tracklisting\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 You Need Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Anyway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Black Duck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Cozy's Melody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Rag Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Ballade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Do What You Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Go Over The Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORIKI","offers":[{"title":"VG+ \/ VG+ \/ Eastworld \/ PROT-7081","offer_id":56998216139125,"sku":"409569","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/4339\/files\/image_2227227.jpg?v=1791292088","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylexchange.co.uk\/products\/noriki-noriki","provider":"Vinyl Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
