Pudding - 1st Full-length Album [If I Could Meet Again] (2LP)

The debut work of "Pop Jazz Band Pudding," which has secured a thick layer of enthusiasts with its playful jazz and easy-listening music featuring a lush sound, is now released as a Special Edition 2LP! A rare item that was completely sold out, with endless requests for reproduction, returns as a limited edition LP. [If I could meet again] Pudding Pudding's first album caused a new sensation upon its release in 2003 with pop jazz instrumentals that were nearly nonexistent at the time. With 8 additional tracks not found in the original album, this is a golden opportunity to hear major songs such as “Maldive,” “Thanx,” and “If I could meet again” in live performance versions recorded at the time! Pudding is a five-piece pop jazz group consisting of music director and band leader Kim Jung-bum, along with piano, guitar, bass, percussion, and drums. Having formed the group after falling in love with each other's musicality, they presented fresh and sophisticated songs that were unexpected for a domestic band, securing a large number of loyal fans. Their representative album and debut work, [If I could meet again], which is currently out of print and unavailable, is being released as an expanded 2LP after 18 years. This album adds 8 songs to the original album's 14 tracks, with the additional songs placed on SIDE D. These additional tracks are recordings of major songs played like a live session in a Seoul studio before the main recording began; they sound more vivid and energetic than the final results of Pudding's first album, allowing listeners to experience the liveliness of the recording site at the time. Pudding, who always adds the phrase “New Nature Of Sound” before their band name to signify recovering existing sounds and forgotten sounds, delivers soft emotions and melodies through acoustic instruments, and their unique musical ideas added throughout their work truly shine. Their music, which unravels the not-so-easy genre of jazz in Pudding's own easy and unique style, continues to be loved and used in broadcast media, commercial music, and movie BGM. Through this LP, they will deliver an even sweeter, more comfortable sound and an analog sensibility.
