A fascinating project bridging the worlds of Japanese hard rock and international video game music, this entry focuses on “Thrill Of The Feel” by Sons Of Angels. Released in Japan on March 23, 2000, via the Victor label (catalog number VICP-61014), this CD album is an essential piece of history for multiple fanbases.
This album is the debut release from the project formed by Japanese guitarist Jun Senoue and powerhouse American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (known for his work with Hardline and Axel Rudi Pell). This project would very soon become known as Crush 40.
“Thrill Of The Feel” acts as a soundtrack for the video games EA Sports NASCAR Arcade and Sonic Adventure. Despite its origins as game music, the album stands as a high-quality, standalone 80s-style American hard rock album. Senoue’s songwriting and guitar work are praised for perfectly matching Gioeli’s world-class vocals, creating a sound that highlights both of their talents without overshadowing either.
The album is packed with high-energy, fast-paced tracks that appeal to hard rock fans, including fan-favorites like “Revvin’ Up,” “Watch Me Fly…,” and the iconic “Open Your Heart” (included as a bonus track on this Japanese release). The album also features a monster rhythm section, with Naoto Shibata (Anthem) on bass and Hirotsugu Homma (ex-Anthem) on drums.
VICP-61014 is a fantastic release, capturing the potent chemistry between Senoue and Gioeli. It’s a must-have for hard rock fans, video game music enthusiasts, and followers of Johnny Gioeli’s prolific career.
