Ain Soph are among the most inetersting Japanese bands ever (please find more by them in this blog). Even if "Marine Messagerie" CD was recorded in 1991, then re-released in 2005, these tracks were born in the late '70s, the first creative wave of Yozok (guitars), Mashiro Torigaki (bass),Taiqui (drums) and Kikuo Fujikawa (keyboards). "Flooded by The Sun" belongs to the melodic and Camel-esque vein of Ain Soph, and starts with a delicate mood, then gets more upbeat and intricate.
The 2005 reissue was co-labelled by Poseidon and Musea.
The whole song (an instrumental, as usual with Ain Soph) is enjoyable and higly dynamic, so that all instruments are cleverly interwined to build up a brilliant, charming sound. Yozok's guitar solo is one of the highlights of "Flooded by Sun Light", and so is Taiqui's creative drumming. That's what I really like in this song: the way it combines lightness and sophistication. The Rising Sun touch, maybe.
