The guest list is the disciplined thing here. Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis and Libianca take one song each across seventeen tracks, none of them doubling up, none of them arriving in the first ten minutes. Around that the band is exactly the band it has been for a decade: five players, Femi Koleoso's drums still doing the steering, the horns still arguing in the top half of the mix. Three of those seventeen tracks contain no music, being the actor Letitia Wright reading Parts One, Two and Three. Since release the group has put out a visualiser for every track on the record, plus three proper videos, one of them shot in Jamaica with a crew list that runs to several screens. 十七軌裡有三軌沒有音樂：演員 Letitia Wright 朗讀的 Part 1、Part 2、Part 3，分別擺在第一、第七、第十三軌，把整張碟切成三幕。這種結構在爵士專輯裡不常見，多半隻有概念電子或嘻哈才會這樣排。客座名單排得很有秩序，Pa Salieu、Lila Iké、Leona Lewis、Libianca 各領一首，不重疊也不搶戲。樂團五人編制沒有變動，鼓還是 Femi Koleoso 的鼓，這件事比任何客座都重要。他們把十七軌逐首做成 visualiser 掛上官方頻道，另外拍了三支正式 MV——一支在牙買加拍，工作人員名單長到要分段列。

Toshio Hosokawa wrote the title piece for Pahud, in five sections, and Pahud premiered it in Zurich in 2022; a soloist recording a concerto that exists because of him is a closed circuit of a kind orchestras rarely get to hear. Prokofiev's 1943 sonata turns up rescored for flute and orchestra by Stephan Koncz, a colleague from the Berlin Philharmonic, so the arrangement comes from someone who sits forty feet away most evenings. The record closes with Christopher Rouse's concerto of 1994, an elegy for James Bulger, the two-year-old murdered in Liverpool the year before; its third movement, marked Elegia, runs ten minutes and four seconds and is the longest stretch of the piece. Presto lists that track as available only with the full download, a strange fate for the heart of a record. 一張長笛專輯而完全不碰標準曲目，這在長笛家的獨奏生涯裡算是個表態。標題曲是細川俊夫的五段式長笛協奏曲，題獻給 Pahud 本人，2022 年由他與蘇黎世音樂廳管絃樂團首演。普羅高菲夫 1943 年的長笛奏鳴曲被柏林愛樂同事 Stephan Koncz 重新配成長笛與樂團版。壓軸是 Christopher Rouse 1994 年的協奏曲，寫成一首輓歌，悼念前一年遇害的兩歲男童 James Bulger；第三樂章 Elegia 十分零四秒，是全曲最長的一段。

Ruairi O'Brien has spent most of his career on other people's sleeves, in the small print, as producer or player. Here he is alone with the cupboard open: slew-rate limiting, Airwindows plugins, buses nested inside buses, fifteen tracks recorded, mixed and mastered by him between 2021 and 2026. Two LPs and a cassette, no streaming anywhere. 錄音欄上寫著 2021-26。十五軌，前後做了五年，Ruairi O'Brien 自己錄自己混自己母帶。他過去的身分多半是別人專輯上的製作人或樂手，這次把自己的訊號處理癖好端上檯面：slew-rate limiting、Airwindows 外掛、層層嵌套的總線。雙張黑膠與卡帶同步發，串流一個都沒有。

The credits are laid out by side, A and B, like a record from 1964, and seven of the eleven songs carry two names. The second is Elliot Bergman, who produced the thing and then played most of it: saxophone, clarinet, flute, bass, organ, drums, with Natalie Bergman singing harmony on eight tracks. Recording was split between Studio Figueroa and Studio Ela. LaFarge has said in the press material that he wanted to make music a machine could not copy, a sentiment that has gone cheap through repetition; what makes it hold here is that he answered it with personnel instead of argument. Somebody had to stand in the room and blow each of those horns. 製作人 Elliot Bergman 一個人吹薩克斯、單簧管、長笛，順手彈貝斯與風琴，還打了鼓。Natalie Bergman 唱了十一軌裡八軌的和聲。錄音分在 Studio Figueroa 與 Studio Ela 兩處，credits 照 Side A／Side B 排版，十一首裡七首是 LaFarge 與 Bergman 合寫。他在官方文案裡把動機講得很白：想做 AI 複製不了的音樂。這話本身沒什麼稀奇，稀奇的是他真的用編制回答了——一間小棚、幾個人、每件樂器都有人在吹。

Track two is Nadir's aria from Bizet's pearl-fishing opera, a tenor's property for a hundred and sixty years, sung here by a soprano without apology or comment. That sets the terms for the other fourteen: the Queen of the Night, Tosca's "E lucevan le stelle," Wolfram's hymn to the evening star, Saint-Saëns's Danse macabre, Trenet and "Danny Boy" slotted between them. Forty-six minutes, two people, all arrangements their own — soprano doubling on ukulele, accordionist doubling as second voice. An opera house folded down to the size of a sitting room, and the fit is better than it has any right to be. 編制只有兩人：女高音兼彈烏克麗麗，手風琴兼唱。四十六分鐘十五首，莫札特的夜後、普契尼的〈E lucevan le stelle〉、華格納的晚星之歌、聖桑的《骷髏之舞》，中間還插進 Trenet 與 Danny Boy。最有意思的是第二首，比才《採珠人》裡 Nadir 的男高音詠嘆調，由女高音接手唱完。所有改編出自兩人自己的手。

The sleeve note opens with Adrian Piper, writing in 1987 about abstraction as a kind of flight, which is a heavy door to put on a record of seven tracks. What comes through it is mostly wood and brass: Johanna Orellana on flute, strings written and played by André Bratten and Ole Henrik Moe, Eivind Lønning on trumpet, with clarinet, piano, synthesiser, field recordings and percussion by Villain, who also mixed. More air moving through actual tubing than through oscillators, which is not the standard Nordic ambient ratio. The first flute chord fills the room slowly, the way a valve opens somewhere upstream. 七軌。長笛 Johanna Orellana，弦樂由 André Bratten 與 Ole Henrik Moe 演奏並編寫，小號 Eivind Lønning——真人管樂與弦樂的比重比合成器高，這在北歐氛圍裡不算常態。單簧管、鋼琴、合成、田野錄音與打擊由 Villain 本人包辦，混音也是她自己。開場那一記長笛和絃緩慢把整個聲場灌滿，廠牌文案開篇引的是 Adrian Piper 1987 年談抽象與飛行的那段話。

All nine songs are composed and arranged by three people — Anna Lucia Nissen with Alexander Rathbone and Tobias Textor — while every word is hers alone, a division of labour you can hear in how fixed the lyrics sound against how loose the arrangements get. It opens on a drum figure and a wall of guitar, and her first line begins on the spine of a ladybird. Limited twelve-inch with a folded poster. 專輯名來自一個晚上：抬頭看見的星星其實是衛星群。九首全部由 Anna Lucia Nissen 與 Alexander Rathbone、Tobias Textor 三人共同作曲編曲，歌詞全部出自 Nissen。開場曲從鼓點與吉他噪牆起手，人聲第一句從一隻瓢蟲的背脊寫起。限量 12" 附摺頁海報。

Four electric guitars play this, none of them his: ZWERM, the Belgian quartet of Toon Callier, Kobe Van Cauwenberghe, Johannes Westendorp and Matthias Koole. The music began as the sound for Banks Violette's exhibition "Wish You Were Here," and when the show came down the piece stayed up, in two long tracks, recorded by Antoine Delagoutte at the Muziekcentrum De Bijloke in Ghent. Violette made the cover as well, which keeps the whole thing inside one room after the room has gone. 只有兩軌。原本是為美國藝術家 Banks Violette 個展《Wish You Were Here》做的裝置聲響，展覽結束，聲音留了下來。演奏的不是 O'Malley 自己，是比利時電吉他合奏團 ZWERM 的四把琴。錄音在根特 Muziekcentrum De Bijloke，封面美術也出自 Banks Violette。
