Nona Reeves - Warner Music EP (1998)
God Lawd! Is this record almost a decade old already? It seems like just yesterday this breezy slant-eyed soul trio celebrated their major label signing with the fine five-track “Warner Music EP”. Since then, Nona Reeves has released a series of LPs of wildly varying quality, managed to get their song “Love Together” featured on the Parappa the Rapper game soundtrack, while vocalist Gota Nishidera (purveyor of some fine Michael Jackson style dance moves) moonlighted as a DJ at club events. Not bad, but still not as triumphant as the prank video for “Warner Music” would seem to suggest when they raided the Tokyo WB office ala Reservoir Dogs with toy guns in search of a suitcase full of cash. Those were the days.
