The two have been mailing files to each other since Vrioon in 2002, through the five V.I.R.U.S. albums, through a piece played on the walls of Philip Johnson's Glass House and a night at the Sydney Opera House. This batch dates from November and December 2022 and was never filed as a project: it was the traffic running alongside Sakamoto's 12, one sending, one answering. Carsten Nicolai's note for the label mentions the heavy breathing you can hear in the recordings, which is what happens when nobody present considers the tape finished enough to clean. The digital edition runs sixteen tracks under a title that says twelve, and NOTON lets that stand without explanation. 這十二段全部錄於 2022 年 11 月到 12 月，是坂本最後一張個人專輯《12》同期的往返素材。兩人各自錄了丟給對方，對方再疊上去丟回來，當時沒有任何出版計畫。《12》完成之後，他們才回頭決定讓這批東西獨立成作。

The credit line on Bandcamp does most of the describing: all songs traditional, arranged by Jake X. Fussell, except "No 1." Eight of the nine are old, the ninth is his, and he has given it the flattest title on the record and put it first. The closer keeps a spelling nobody has used in four centuries, "Of Al the Beast-es in the World," which tells you how far back he went for the source and how little he wanted to tidy it up. The first single was "Rock Island Line," a song so thoroughly worn that picking it is itself a position. Ben Whiteley, of The Weather Station, mixed it. 混音是 Ben Whiteley 做的，他是 The Weather Station 的成員，從前替 Fussell 巡演彈貝斯。這個安排很說明問題：找一個在臺上陪你彈過幾百場的人來決定成品的平衡，比找一個耳朵更新的人保險。客串名單裡還有 Wayne Horvitz、Isa Burke、Ken Whiteley 與 Dominic Billett。

Five players, and three of them on guitar: Kato Takashi and Aida Shigekazu on guitars, Horie Hirohisa covering keys and a third one, TOKIE on bass, Nakamura Tatsuya on drums. Nakamura started the thing in 1996 as a solo project, which makes this its thirtieth year and the first new album in twenty-one. A band that spends three decades arriving at three guitars has usually stopped worrying about restraint. The CD out today carries ten tracks; the vinyl, due October 28th, carries eight, and the label page states both numbers side by side. 距前作《ゆうれい船長がハナシてくれたこと》（2005）整整二十一年。CD 今天上架收十首，10 月 28 日的黑膠只收八首，官方頁面就這樣寫著，沒有多作解釋。

The longest vocal track here is scene six of Benda's Medea, nine minutes forty-nine, and the soprano is credited as "vocals - spoken word." Alexandra Lowe does not sing a note on it. German melodrama of 1775 asked the orchestra to carry everything a singer would normally carry and left the actor free to speak over it, an arrangement the teenage Mozart wrote home about approvingly. Around it: Joseph Martin Kraus's C minor symphony to open, Haydn's "Farewell" to close, seventy-three minutes, fourth of seven planned volumes. 七卷系列走到第四卷，從 2020 年開跑到現在。開場放「瑞典莫札特」克勞斯的 C 小調交響曲 VB 142，二十一分四十秒；壓軸是海頓第四十五號「告別」，三十二分十秒。全碟七十三分鐘十軌。
Branford Marsalis Quartet (with Dianne Reeves) — Dedicated To You

The quartet's second album in two years, after Belonging in 2025, and the second in a row where the interesting decision is about seating. Twelve tracks, Dianne Reeves in front, Marsalis somewhere behind her. A saxophonist marking the Coltrane centenary has every excuse to play a lot; this one keeps handing the line back to a singer and taking the accompanist's chair. The record comes out on his own Marsalis Music through Blue Note. 科爾特蘭百年誕辰，一個薩克斯風手做紀念碟，最順手的做法是自己站前面吹完十二軌。他沒這麼做，把主角席位讓給了 Dianne Reeves 的人聲，自己退回四重奏的編制裡。與 2025 年的《Belonging》連著兩作。

Six years since Myopia, and the copyright line is worth reading: ℗ 2026 Strange Harvest Limited, under exclusive license to Deutsche Grammophon. The yellow label is on the sleeve, the masters are hers. That arrangement matches the credits, where voice, piano, keyboards, synthesisers and samples all resolve to the same name and no second performer appears anywhere. Thirteen tracks, written and recorded in her own Berlin studio, first single "Laymelli." An artist who has spent fifteen years keeping her production in-house has now got a major to distribute it without taking it. 距《Myopia》（2020）六年。整張在柏林自家工作室完成，人聲、鋼琴、鍵盤、合成器、採樣全部她一個人來，署名裡找不到第二個演奏者。十三軌，先行曲〈Laymelli〉。

Taiwan's Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development funds albums in the island's home languages, and the terms are specific: two thirds of the material unreleased and original, at least six songs in the language or thirty minutes of it. Kodabow's producer took the top award in the 2025 round, NT$1.3 million, a year before the record appeared. What came out is twelve tracks in Taiwanese, with the title printed on the physical edition in characters and in Tâi-lô romanisation at once, thóo-bī ê iu-ngá. Grant conditions rarely leave fingerprints this legible on a finished album. 成品出來的一年前，這張臺語專輯就先拿到了文化部影視及流行音樂產業局 114 年本土語言流行音樂專輯製作發行補助的最高額，130 萬元，申請單位是三川娛樂，名單 2025 年 9 月 5 日公佈，全案二十件。

The organ was tuned up to the higher pitch known in Monteverdi's Venice as mezzo tuono, and the cornetts and sackbuts were then built to match it, which is a long way round to a sound. Forty years into the group's life this is their first Vespers, and they do it one voice to a part, against a tradition of massing choirs in it. Two discs, fifty-two and thirty-seven minutes, with the Magnificat broken into twelve tracks. I have played it twice and want a third before saying more. 補記，九月初的碟。I Fagiolini 成軍四十年，這是他們第一次錄《1610 晚禱》，而且用一人一聲部的極簡編制，一個聲部只站一個人。這種做法在這部作品上並不常見，它的規模向來被拿來堆人。
