This 1982 album is his most experimental work and stands out even within the Crépuscule scene. It's hacking music that could be called the ancestor of chiptune, created by infiltrating the electronic circuits of a computer-controlled pinball machine and using only the electronic sounds generated by its built-in sound chip as material. The album consists of 8 tracks, ranging from psychodrones with distorted electronic sounds that creep and writhe, to primitive techno where familiar sound effects are strung together in mysterious sequences of unknown origin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eベルギーのミニマル系コンポーザーWim Mertensのグループ名義Soft Verdictによる82年作。グループではなくGust De Meyerとの共作の形。コンピューター制御によるピンボールマシンの電子音のみを取り出し、それを素材に制作された奇妙なミニマル・インダストリアル・ミュージック作品。長尺の電子ノイズループテクノ”8 Ball”や電子音が打ち込まれるようなドローン・インダストリアル”Dog-In”は楽曲として聞いても秀逸。比類なきアート／コンセプト作品。超美品。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/qatebsjnknxl0ypwqe8f6\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-A2.mp3?rlkey=m9vm3jxmgqbsda2adtlre7mpq\u0026amp;st=4j9hix2z\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA2 - Insert Coin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/p7gf840laah9juztp3f1i\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-A3.mp3?rlkey=5odvuay3n3q342ep4gni4os37\u0026amp;st=t0k2tpsy\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA3 - Deluxe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/p7p59p0nsleqlobh4xchm\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-A4.mp3?rlkey=6o5uab696udnfwexz4f3dhk3u\u0026amp;st=s4i1qg93\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA4 - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/p7gf840laah9juztp3f1i\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-A3.mp3?rlkey=5odvuay3n3q342ep4gni4os37\u0026amp;st=t0k2tpsy\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e8 Ball\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/gq1t7cqf729nrj2pi3nw8\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-B1.mp3?rlkey=nps2studra1d7ufsbmjoj06lm\u0026amp;st=93yajie7\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eB1 - Fireball\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/3v169sebyr02sqribz7xm\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-B2.mp3?rlkey=xk77x3nvokr7rjiyzjjjjq2xn\u0026amp;st=cdz5o2zd\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eB2 - Invader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/qhw7tab6cf2uh1644nx3y\/Soft-Verdict-For-Amusement-Only-B3.mp3?rlkey=wv6ootybxziiv3sioto9xnrt2\u0026amp;st=4mlsmbcx\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eB3 - Dog-In\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galapagos Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43853453787239,"sku":null,"price":11000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/8117\/2327\/files\/xICuIuLb.jpg?v=1780914559","url":"https:\/\/galapagos-rec0rds.com\/products\/soft-verdict-for-amusement-only","provider":"Galapagos Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
