V.A.: Music Series for Youth 젊은이를 위한 / 음악시리즈 vol.1/2
Synnara 젊은이를 위한 / 음악시리즈 vol.1 (1988) I guess I had expected a bit too much from this 80s compilation of music for the youth. Most of it is pretty commercial trot-pop/ballad-pop, which even with a small touch of rock here and there still makes tracks forgetable. I knew it contained at least one track of Runway/Songgolmeh which pretty much stands out completely. Runway is heavier rock and is rather out of place between all other tracks. But one needs to know many more “progress

잠비나이 - Jambinai
Jambinai is the best discovery of new music from Korea so far, thanks to Michael Fuhr’s book and recommendation. This first full album, on “Times of Extinction”, starts powerfully with a heavy, slowly repetitive rocking drive, of acoustic/electric guitar/drums in contrast with the traditional Korean violin sound improvising on top of it, with thoughtful arranged effects of almost cinematic contrasts. This mode continues with variations of the same heavy effect. In the second


오세은 - Oh Se-Eun (<Idol/Namsadang)
Radio show comments: "Track 8 is a longer track with a worked out acoustic guitar intro. Other instruments for improvisation within the song are electric guitar and piano, and further on some female vocalist for a couple of high notes with a few other singers." This third album sounds better or more attractive compared to the already reviewed fourth album. This is slightly melancholic, mostly acoustic folk/pop/rock with nice arrangements: songs led by male lead vocals with so

김정미 - Kim Jung-Mi
Folkie Jin : "Korea had a Folk scene in the 70's too. But it only had few folk rock albums then. Mostly Korean folk singers were influenced by American folk singers (Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez etc.). So almost folk singers belong to modern folk. Only a few singers tried add western folk music (mostly American folk) to traditional standards. Only occasionally folk rock was made by a rock musician. This musician was Shin Jung-Hyun. I think th
