Description:
Sam Prekop, who has been a solo artist for more than 25 years since his debut with The Sea and Cake and more than 20 years since his first album "Old Punch Card" (2010), has been trying to differentiate himself from the band, perhaps by shunning his extremely seductive vocals and releasing mainly instrumental works with modular synthesizers, The new album, their first in five and a half years since their last album "The Republic", boldly introduces rhythm and beat programming for the first time in their last three albums, and was produced mainly with analog synths (this album is not only modular synths, but also analog synths). (This new album uses not only modular synths, but also the famous analog synths such as Roland SH-101 and JUNO-106, as well as the digital synth Elektron Digitone. Aphex Twin's masterpieces "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" and "Selected Ambient Works Volume II", the 80's Japanese new age and ambient masterpieces by Yasuaki Shimizu, Yuro Ojima, Inoyama Land and others that are being re-evaluated overseas in recent years (Sam had been paying attention to them before the release of "Kankyo Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990"), and 90's minimal music by Basic Channel, Robert Hood and others. (Sam had been paying attention to them even before the release of "Kankyo Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990"), as well as the 90's minimal techno masterpieces of Basic Channel, Robert Hood, and others. Inspired by the minimalist techno of the 90s such as Basic Channel, Robert Hood, and others, the band has created a nostalgic, fresh pop album (described by Thrill Jockey as a work in the vein of Brian Eno and YMO) that foreshadows a hybrid, new ambient feel. The album was mixed by bandmate John McEntire, who has now relocated to Portland, and mastered for the first time by Taylor Dupree, who runs the 12K label in New York and is well known in Japan as a collaborator with Ryuichi Sakamoto.The CD will be released first in Japan (about a month ahead of the original release). Liner notes are by Yuji Shibasaki and Norio Fukuda (Sweet Dreams Press).
