9 BELOW ZERO / ナイン・ビロウ・ゼロ / CHILLED/REFRIGERATOR / CD

ソリッドなR&Bパンクを聴かせてくれるパブロックの雄、ナイン・ビロウ・ゼロ。現在まで現役バリバリにキープ・ロッキンしているその姿勢にも感動です。本CDは2000年作の「REFRIGERATOR」と2002年作「CHILLED」をカップリングしたもので、レイド・バックした熟年パブロッカーの旨みが詰まった内容となっています。特に「CHILLED」の力の抜け具合は素晴らしい。M-3、"SPANISH HARLEM"のカヴァーは生音DJも注目すべきフォーキー・グルーヴィー・チューンですし、マーヴィン・ゲイの"HOW SWEET IT IS"カヴァーはブルースハープが揺れるハンドクラッピン・キラー!!ニック・ロウやNRBQで腰を揺らしたい諸氏には堪らないご馳走がでしょう。

NINE BELOW ZERO’s 30th anniversary celebrations continue with the re issue of two of their best albums, both of which came out originally on the bands own label-Zed Records in 2000 “Refrigerator” and “Chilled” in 2002. Both albums capture London’s finest rhythm and blues group at their very best.

Now remastered with bonus tracks on each album this 2CD set is a timely reminder why NBZ are considered by their legions of fans as one of the best groups on the planet. Catch them live when they are next playing near you and you will see why.
