Robert Fripp's Frippertronics rig ran on two reel-to-reel decks and a lot of patience. Motohiro Nakashima, a fingerstyle guitarist from Fukuyama, near Hiroshima, rebuilds the idea with cassette machines, letting tape loops fray under his picking until the loops seem to be doing the remembering for him. His first album in five years is billed by flau as a meditation on environmental collapse and the end of capitalism, which sounds like a manifesto and plays like forty minutes of weather. ARAKI Shin arranges brass, Kumi Takahara adds strings, and marucoporoporo sings on the title track. The vinyl arrived yesterday, two weeks behind the digital, which feels right for a record about things that reach us after a delay. My pick of the day. 本日 Pick。廣島福山的指彈吉他手中島基裕，睽違五年的新作，黑膠昨天剛落地。他把 Robert Fripp 七十年代要用兩臺盤帶機才玩得動的回授戲法，改裝到卡帶機上：磁帶的毛噪墊在指彈底下，像一層會自己呼吸的地板。專輯的題目不小，環境崩壞、資本主義的終局，但他處理的方式是往小裡走，ARAKI Shin 的銅管、Kumi Takahara 的弦樂點到即止，marucoporoporo 在標題曲裡的聲音幾乎是從磁帶縫隙裡長出來的。前作《Gathering The Light》向外收集光，這張向內看人怎麼壞掉、怎麼修。十曲三十九分鐘，值得整張聽完。

Soliano was playing professionally at seven, in the early 1930s, and by the 1950s Radio Malaya had hired him to build the country's first orchestra, which meant recruiting the players and then teaching them to play. His reward for inventing a national sound was the accusation that he had made Malay music too Western, and he spent 1965 to 1973 in Bangkok, returning only when a government minister asked him personally. These sessions, cut in 1973-74 with Johari Salleh and Ahmad Nawab in the band, open with "Masth Chantani," tabla and talking drum working under strings that look toward Cairo and Madras at once. Audible Beauty, the new sister label Habibi Funk started after a crate-digging trip through Malaysia and Indonesia, makes it catalogue number 001. The cover photo shows the band in fezzes and sunglasses in front of a Borneo Airways plane; the gatefold carries a 12-page booklet, fully licensed from the Soliano family. Habibi Funk 開了新的姊妹廠牌 Audible Beauty，編號 001 給了馬來西亞管絃樂之父 Alfonso Soliano。他三十年代初七歲就職業演出，五十年代替 Radio Malaya 從零建起全國第一支管絃樂團，親手訓練樂手；結果被罵把馬來音樂做得「太西化」，負氣去了曼谷八年，最後是部長親自開口才請回來。這批 1973-74 年的錄音當年只壓了幾十張，供電臺內部播放，等於在檔案室裡睡了半世紀。開場「Masth Chantani」塔布拉鼓加說話鼓墊在弦樂下面，開羅、馬德拉斯、吉隆坡在同一個房間。gatefold 黑膠附十二頁小冊，家屬正式授權。

Dos Monos 主腦的首張個人專輯。這位東京最愛掉書袋的饒舌腦袋，這次刻意把實驗外衣脫掉，回到最正統的 boom-bap 血統：全專八曲，客座只有自家隊友沒 a.k.a NGS 和 TaiTan，混音母帶交給傳奇工程師 The Anticipation Illicit Tsuboi。歌詞第一人稱到底，寫家族、寫組團往事、寫當了爸爸之後看東京的方式。主打「東京コンプレックス」一首歌換三次檔：復古電影採樣的 boom-bap、大樂隊爵士、最後降速成 slow rap。十月十日在澀谷 WWW 辦發行專場。

The idakka, Kerala's hourglass-shaped temple drum, gets the frontman role here, with a track named after it and a Kush Arora rework of that track to close the argument. Ravish Momin, a Brooklyn drummer twenty years into a career of rebuilding club music from South Indian percussion, gives the album a Malayalam title meaning "as the dawn breaks" and hands its back half to remixers, Masma Dream World and Lila Tirando a Violeta among them. First full-length since his 2021 debut for On The Corner. 布魯克林鼓手 Ravish Momin 入行二十年，一直在做同一件事：用南印打擊樂重寫 club 音樂的底層代碼。這張的主角是喀拉拉邦的沙漏型神廟鼓 idakka，有一首曲子直接以它命名。專輯名是馬拉雅拉姆語的「破曉時分」，前半原創、後半六首重混接力，Kush Arora、Masma Dream World、Lila Tirando a Violeta 輪番上場。

Ten songs in twenty-three minutes from Denver, with titles that do the narrative work up front: "I Pay Everyone I Still Talk To," "When Kevin Gets Free," "Epitaph." I Am The Avalanche drop in on "Modern Convenience." Second pressing of the band's name into the title, in case you missed the theme. 丹佛 garage-punk，十首歌二十三分鐘。歌名比歌還先把故事講完：「I Pay Everyone I Still Talk To」（我還在聯絡的人我全都付過錢）、「When Kevin Gets Free」。「Modern Convenience」有 I Am The Avalanche 客串。怨氣管理得很有效率，通勤單程剛好一張。

Catch-up, July 24. The first Oen Sujet album, in 2009, credited fifteen members. Seventeen years later the Montreal group returns as two people, producer John Winston Phillips and vocalist Hammerbell, having spent a full decade on the follow-up. The eleven-minute "Potentiators and Breakthroughs" opens in Actress territory, falls apart, reassembles as baroque electronics, and then, improbably, swings toward reggae. Members of the feminist choir Chœur Maha appear on "Goods To This Body (Of People)." I have played it three times and keep relocating its center of gravity; ask me again next week. 補記，7/24。蒙特婁的 Oen Sujet，2009 年首專掛了十五個成員名字；十七年後的第二張只剩兩個人，製作人 John Winston Phillips 和主唱 Hammerbell，而且做了整整十年。十一分鐘的「Potentiators and Breakthroughs」是全碟支點：開場像 Actress，中途崩解，重組成巴洛克電子，收尾晃向 reggae。女性主義合唱團 Chœur Maha 的成員在「Goods To This Body (Of People)」裡出聲。Quietus 給的評語是：不像任何別的東西。

Catch-up, July 29. The Hague ensemble formerly known as Slagwerk Den Haag, a fifty-year institution of Dutch percussion, keeps lending its archive to producers, and this volume's six borrowers include Slikback, 33EMYBW, and the Japan-based composer Lemna. The exchange runs both ways, with the ensemble recording new percussion to order for each piece. Jung An Tagen's "Jaw" is the keeper, a ferric descent that never quite lands, while 33EMYBW's "The Disorientation of Dagobert" simply disintegrates into silence. 補記，7/29。海牙的 HIIIT 前身是打擊樂重鎮 Slagwerk Den Haag，五十年的機構底子。這個系列的玩法：把自家龐大的打擊樂採樣庫外借給六位製作人各寫一曲，樂團再按每首需求補錄專屬素材織回去，雙向交換。這卷名單兇：Toumba、Konduku、Slikback、33EMYBW、Jung An Tagen、駐日作曲家 Lemna。Jung An Tagen 的「Jaw」一路鐵質下墜，Slikback 的「Anvil」高飽和抽打。

Catch-up, July 24, and today's classical slot. Winnipeg pianists Madeline Hildebrand and Everett Hopfner own a grand piano, prepared and otherwise, and use it sparingly; the stars of their debut are two Fender Rhodes, a toy piano, a customized music box, and five carefully chosen steel bowls. Adrian Knight's eight-movement "Twinlings," written for the Rhodes pair, is split in half to bookend everything else. Phyllis Chen's "Hush," written for her daughter, supplies the record's quietest four minutes. 補記，7/24，本日古典位。溫尼伯鋼琴二重奏 Madeline Hildebrand 和 Everett Hopfner 的首張出版物，樂器清單先看一眼：預置三角鋼琴、兩臺 Fender Rhodes、玩具鋼琴、改裝音樂盒、五隻精選鋼碗。Adrian Knight 為兩臺 Rhodes 寫的八樂章《Twinlings》被拆成前四後四，把其他曲目整個包住；Phyllis Chen 寫給女兒的《Hush》是全碟最安靜的四分鐘。科班鋼琴家自己動手拆樂器，拆得有章法。
