1982 collaboration masterpiece between Belgian electronic musician Benjamin Lew and Steven Brown, widely known as a member of Tuxedomoon. Marc Hollander of Aksak Maboul is involved extensively, almost like a third member, and Vini Reilly (ex-The Durutti Column) and Rami Fortis (ex-Minimal Compact) also feature. The tracks layer each artist's sound with ethnic instruments, evoking the arrival of the Fourth World. Listening to it again, we were able to make kind of new discoveries, with the swaying, rising sound image of "Profondeurs Des Eaux Des Laques" and the pleasant, visionary piano sound of "Nouvelles Observations". Of course, the whole album is just incredible without any boundaries. Beautiful Japan Original version with obi, insert.
ベルジャン電子音楽家Benjamin LewとTuxedomoonのメンバーとして広く知られるSteven Brownによる82年の共作。3人目のメンバーと言ってもいい程にAksak MaboulのMarc Hollanderが全面で参加する他、Vini Reilly(ex The Durutti Column), Rami Fortis(ex Minimal Compact)も名を連ねています。民族楽器等も交えながら各人の音を重ね合わせ第四世界への到達を想わせる数々の楽曲。改めて聞いてみるとゆらゆらと立ち上るような音像の”Profondeurs Des Eaux Des Laques”や幻影を見るようなピアノの響きが心地いい”Nouvelles Observations”などがしっくり来るような新しい発見を楽しむことができました。垣根なしの大傑作。素晴らしいです。日本版オリジナル帯付き美品。
