The Outer Rim’s “Another Rant” from Tokyo Groove Nights

It’s that time again! You should know by now that Outer Rim has brought on some new members and has been performing at the monthly Tokyo Groove Nights in Japan (for more info, be sure to check out our chat with band leader Jeff Curry on Episode #004 of our podcast). We just got word that the group has a new track from their latest show available for your streaming pleasure. Titled another rant, “Another Rant,” the live recording starts by combining their spacey jazz stylings with a distorted radio transmission before exploding into a saucy lounge piece. This is the first time that we see what the newly added synthesizer, performed by Frederic Viennot, brings to the group, and I say it sounds good!

Unfortunately I couldn’t link directly to the piece, so feel free to navigate to “Another Ran” in the songs section above and let us know what you think. Does the synthesizer add to the group? Any thoughts as to which game music tracks the group should tackle?
