''Ocean Beach'' is the fourth studio album by Red House Painters, released in 1995 by 4AD. It is the first album that demonstrates what would become both the group's and Mark Kozelek's move toward a more pastoral and folk-influenced arrangement style, and away from the lengthy, droning epics that had made their early albums notable. ''Ocean Beach'' was also the last album to feature founding guitarist Gorden Mack, as well as being the band's last studio album released by 4AD. The album features an unlisted hidden track, referred to as "Brockwell Park (Part 2)" less than 20 seconds after "Drop" ends. The double 10" vinyl release of the album (now long out of print) features the band's acoustic cover of Yes' 1971 hit "Long Distance Runaround." Kozelek would go on to record another version of the song (with electric guitars and an extended outro) for Red House Painters' next album, ''Songs for a Blue Guitar''. A rarely seen music video was produced for the song "Summer Dress."〔 ("Summer Dress" music video ) 〕 An original idea for the album's front cover artwork was a photo of what could be broken pews in an abandoned church, or old beds in an abandoned hospital ward.〔 ("Ocean Beach" cover artwork idea, 4AD's website ) 〕 ==Reception== ''Select'' gave the album a rating of four out of five, stating that "Kozelek is right up there among the new breed of rootsy singer-songwriters"〔 ''Ocean Beach'' was ranked #58 on Pitchfork Media on the original version of the Top 100 Albums of the 1990s list. 〔() 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ocean Beach (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
