Onions : Best 16 (SK,1974,re.1989)*°°'
airplay : track 6, track 10
This is a "best of" from the South-Korean duo called Onions. In their repertoire there must be some better and more original songs. Most of these 16 most popular songs are mellow, almost schlager-like songs arranged with strings, oboe, some drums and organ and acoustic guitar mostly, a few are more folk-pop. The vocal harmonies are always nice. At least two tracks stand out much better. The sixth track, a sad song, is played with acoustic picking guitar and is sung with much more emotion and a certain emotional vibration in the voice, and a bit of vocal harmonies. Also the second guitar with fast and skilfully played bluesy improvisations, with some piano accents to it, is very nice to hear. Second stand-out is the tenth song, arranged with lush string and swinging drums and organ arrangements is a very good and enjoyable 60s song. The thirteenth track starts promisingly too, with a strong intro of fuzz guitars, drums and bass but isn’t really getting outside an obvious melody and somewhat easy going pop/rock arrangement after that.
