이정화 - Lee Jung-Hwa / Lee Jeong-Hwa & Donkeys
Radioshow comments : "Here Shin Jung Hyun & Donkeys were backing band for a basically mainstream song oriented release. Still, the psych elements are all there (electric guitars, organ,..), especially in some tracks. The first chosen song ("Petal" possibly means "marijunana") has some orchestration arrangement too. Last 16 minute track is similar and is the complete B-side of the album. Of course here's more room for band improvisation. This means a melodic repetition (drum,


이수미 / Lee Su-Mi / Lee Soo Mi
이수미 - 골든앨범 2cd 내곁에 있어주, 여고시절, 오로지 2000-01-01 This album is driven well by a light and pleasant easy listening version of trot music and light pop in full orchestral range (light lush strings, with here and there a small sax solo, an electric piano arrangement,..) and with soft rock band (with very small parts of picking electric guitar, and very basic arrangements of bass and soft drums). Although this is not the kind of music expected supposed to be liked automatically by

이성애 - Lee Seong-Ae / Lee Sungae
Radioshow related review: "Lee Song Ae is a popular singer. She sings covers mostly, I guess in both Western and Korean styles. Every track is well worked out with string orchestra mostly and a pop/rock band, fitting nicely with the 60s entertainment industry of the west. After a first track like this I hear something like a waltz song. The third track is an ok but in fact still not too much of a real alternative of “Let It Be”(Beatles), in a Korean pop chanson version. The a


이수만과 365일 - Lee Su-Man & 365 Days (Lee Soo-Man)
I was first told this album was with Shin Yung Hyun, which does not seem to be true. The singing is mostly uninteresting mainstream rock and early rock. Only third track is more interesting, like the 7th instrumental. "The singer (or the leader of the band 365days) is Sooman Lee. Yes, the music is not interesting. And Lee has become an impresario in current music industry. If you are curious about him, you can read one chapter of a book pop-Goes-Korea-Revolution written by a

아리랑 - Lee Pan-Geun & Korean Jazz Quintet 78
There isn’t too much jazz you can find in Korea, so this might be one of the earliest examples to find. I just hoped it had something more typically Korean in it too, but it simply is jazz-styled. Mostly the bass/drums play a predictable jam theme on which the piano can improvise a bit, while the themes are led smoothly by sax or sax and trumpet. The first track smoothly goes from a moody Pharoah Sanders introduction and back towards such an improvisation. The second track ta
