1. Jordan
We have F major 9 vamp, followed by A major vamp, and this repeats a few times. Sometimes the bass plays F# root note over the A major vamp, implying F#-. After some time we get to Bb major, then B major, repeat…then the B major holds on for a thunderstorm as a Bmaj7#11. Then back to the top for keys SOLO!
This is basically the form, with some nature jams happening for a few bars before the top of the song.
2nd nature jam is some Japanese A pentatonic thing, notes are A B D E G.
3rd nature jam, bird calls.
F major vamp fade out!
2. Dance Ternate
Cutesty F#7 to F#7#5 riff! Bass plays B, F#, E, G#, B. Weird bass jam overtop the F# chords. Not sure what tonality is being implied here, since B (the 11th) doesn’t normally appear in a dominant 7 chord.
Vocals come in A major chord, vocal line is A, E, D, C#, D, C#.
Vocals modulate up to F# major, vocal line is A#, F, F#, F, F#, F.
Bass tends to imply other harmonies over top of these vamps, a lot, throughout the album.
Key board solo bounces between A major and G7#11.
Synth Pad comes in playing D major, G7#11, D major, G7#11.
Top of the form!
A little later we get that vocal motif in the key of C major, then E major.
3. Nettai Yawa – Tales From Equatorial Nights
This one is juicy! Main riff is based on a G# major triad, with a low E in the bass, setting up this E major7 #5 harmonic/melodic minor mode type thing!
Main melody is D#, G#, D#, G#, F#, F#, E, D#, C#.
The next chord change is a good ol’ G#13, resolving eventually to C# maj69 chord, then repeat the funky top of the form.
Jammy jam jazz part is ||G- C7 | F maj | G- C7 | Gmaj||
Then: ||A -7 D7 |G maj E- | A-7 D7 | Gmaj ||
After a long while there’s a chromaticy riff that steps around, then back to the top G#maj/E to G#13 bit. Eventually ultimately resolving to C#maj69 after some times through the form.
4. Indigo Queen
|| D-7 | E-7 | D-7 | E-7 |
| D-7 | G7 | Cmaj7 #11 | Cmaj7#11 ||
Then a chill F-7 to G-7, back and forth for a while. Pretty straight forward.
Organ solo chord progress (F-7 G-7) will end on C- sometimes with some upward side steps. Then eventually modulates to A-7 B-7
5. Spanish Harlem
Happy islands, G major and A- bopping back and forth with some crazy strings and slide guitar!
Segment of A-.
Some slight changes floating around to D major, G major, C major.
Jammy segment in the middle back and forth between Eb13 and Ab13.
Another strawberry of F-7 Bb13 funky fank.
6. Tango Mania
Basic idea is F# major to G7. Next new section is some D major to G7#11 with lots half stepy things, sounds a little like Gutevolk.
Then theres liiike harmonic minor or mixolydian b9 stuff happening, or altered scale?
Most of the song is based on that F# major G7 motif.
7. Blue Canary
G minor I IV V stuff (G-, C-, D- or D maj).
Modulates to G major I IV V stuff (G maj, Cmaj, Dmaj).
8. Malabar Jubilee
Dsus pedal, G maj69/D sus type of sound.
Super cool minor 9 parallel harmonies! G-9, F-9, Db-9, D-9
Keys solo in Bb major, modulates to Db major. Hearing some Mccoy Tyner quartal voicings.
Ancient tribal vibe, A13 to C13b9. Illusions of Gaia Ankor Wat temple comes to mind.
9. Coco and Perfume
||A -7 | D7 | Gmaj7 | G maj7 ||
||Cmaj7 | B-7 |E-7 |A7 ||
|| A-7b5 | Gmaj7 | A-7b5 | G maj7 |
|G dim7 | Abmaj7 | D7sus | Bb-7 Eb9 |
| D7sus D7 | ||
Jazz town with these standard chord progressions!
