The Sisters of Charm - Sweet Trip

Italo pop from Venezuelan born Lucia Montanari, with production by Elio Crociani (Previously posted tracks here and here) and Elvio Pieri. The handful of singles by Lucia are all really strong, always with a latin/italo/balearic vibe.

Japanese Breeze (2021, Forest Jams, FJRS-01)

The title cut of the album, this compact piece whimsically blends two quasi grotesque ideas with a romantic theme in best “Ballet Russe” style. The new scales used for all of this are quite odd. The first heard called Beta, splits the perfect fourth into two equal parts (actually eight equal steps of nearly 64 cents each), the second, Alpha, does the same to the minor third (four equal steps for 78 c. each.) While both scales have nearly perfect triads (two remarkable coincidences!), neither can build a standard diatonic scale, and so the melodic motion is strange and exotic. The two forces, beast and beauty, shift back and forth, and things are never quite what they seem.
