The extraordinary musician Brian Eno, who was forced to quit Roxy Music due to a sense of crisis caused by his immense popularity, surpassing that of Bryan Ferry, and subsequently went solo. This album, released in 1975, is known as a cornerstone of ambient music and was recorded just one month after his masterpiece third album, "Another Green World". Side A features a long track created by adding and fading out different parts using two open-reel tape recorders and a system of long, delayed echoes generated by his own equipment. Side B includes a track that deconstructs and reconstructs Johann Pachelbel’s chamber piece “Canon” with references to Satie. A beautiful copy of the 1982 Japanese reissue, complete with obi and insert. Liner notes by Satoshi Ashikawa.
Roxy MusicでのBryan Ferryを上回る凄まじい人気からそれに危機感を持った経緯からメンバーを辞めさせられるも、その後はソロに転じ数々の傑作を残した稀代の音楽家Brian Eno。本作は傑作サードアルバム”Another Green World”のわずか一か月後に録音されたアンビエント・ミュージックの礎として知られる事になる75年リリース作品。A面では2台のオープンリール式テープレコーダーを使い、自らの装置による長く遅れさせるエコーのシステムを用いた異なるパーツの追加や減衰によって生み出された長尺曲。B面ではサティにも言及している、ヨハン・パッヘルベルの室内楽曲『カノン』を解体し再構築した楽曲を収録。82年の日本再発盤帯付き美品。解説は芦川聡。
