Demian Johnston, who plays guitar and sings, invented a group therapy session for himself and then wrote the whole record inside it. He says only what the scene needs: short sentences, fragments of other people's conversations, admissions of guilt that arrive without preparation. He also drew and designed the sleeve, alone. Going in, the Seattle trio wanted something gentler than the last one, a kind of settling dust; what came back out is the opposite, and both Andy Synn at No Clean Singing and Gavin Brown at Distorted Sound, who gave it eight, heard the opposite too. 西雅圖三人組的第六張。錄音師 Scott Evans,地點是 Studio Litho,二〇二六年三月;那間棚是 Pearl Jam 的 Stone Gossard 的。撞車的事上面說完了,這裡說另外兩件。

Two editorial decisions give this one its shape, and Stephen Wells at MusicWeb International is the one who points them out. "He shall feed his flock" stays with the soprano all the way through, with no handover partway; "Why do the nations" takes the shortened bass version. Around those choices sits a live performance, recorded at St Martin-in-the-Fields across the second week of December 2025 and then patched afterwards, which is a more honest arrangement than most live Messiahs admit to. Wells keeps more than twenty of these at home and puts this one first, which is his judgement and not a consensus. Rousset records Theodora with the same forces next, in Oxford, squeezed into an autumn tour. 蒙特威爾第合唱團與樂團幾十年來一直走自家的 SDG,這是他們在 harmonia mundi 的第一張。合約由團方總監 Rosa Solinas 與廠牌負責人 Christian Girardin 共同宣佈,SDG 並不停擺、兩邊並行;首波三張另外給了 Jakob Lehmann 的羅西尼,以及 Pablo Heras-Casado 二〇二八年起的舒伯特。

David A. McConnell, writing in The Classic Review, spends most of his piece unimpressed: the reading has barely shifted across thirty-nine years and three recordings, the engineering here is veiled, the closing chorale drags, beauty of sound keeps getting in front of what the music is for. He ends by recommending the 1987 Birmingham version instead. One thing, though, he gives away without a single reservation, and it is Beth Taylor's Urlicht. That is the useful kind of review: you can tell exactly where the writer stopped resisting. Munich's Isarphilharmonie, March 2026; the label has published neither the dates nor the production team. 拉特爾的第三個《復活》。David A. McConnell 在 The Classic Review 的切入點很硬:三十九年過去,他的詮釋幾乎沒動過,所以這三版之間能比的只剩樂團和錄音。第一樂章的速度是三版裡最快的,但他認為一九八七年那版伯明罕市立交響樂團演奏得最有稜角。

Los Angeles, New York, and Sydney, where the sessions ran at Golden Retriever in Marrickville. It is the largest cast of session players the band has used, with strings and brass arriving for the first time. Campbell Burns told Lauren McNamara at Rolling Stone Australia that one of the horns was a flugelhorn, an instrument he had not heard of before he started. Beatriz Artola mixed it. Lauren McNamara 在《Rolling Stone》澳紐版的專訪裡,Campbell Burns 把幾件事講得很具體。〈Lucky Forever〉寫的是團員 Jake Johnson 與 Joseph Van Lier 兩個人的婚禮;〈I See Myself in You〉來自他在雪梨跟父母的一次對話。他自評前幾張的做法隨性而偏實驗,這次是每件樂器、每個編排都得先為一個特定情緒服務才留得下來。混音是 Beatriz Artola。

The guest list reads like a Chicago and Los Angeles crossing: Jeff Parker, Makaya McCraven, Josh Johnson, Sen Morimoto, and Paul Bryan all turn up in the writing and production credits, with a dozen-odd players across the record. It follows The Weather Up There. Cunningham lets the sources sit side by side rather than levelling them, so piano sketches and things taped in his living room share a sequence with studio overdubs; he calls the result a kaleidoscope of fidelities. Filipe Freitas reviewed it at JazzTrail. 芝加哥鼓手的新作,接的是《The Weather Up There》。真正有意思的是素材的來路:鋼琴草稿、在家裡起居間錄下的東西、錄音室裡分層疊好的演奏,三種保真度並排放在同一張碟上,他自己把這張說成風格與人格的萬花筒。客座名單一路排到 Jeff Parker、Makaya McCraven、Josh Johnson、Sen Morimoto 與 Paul Bryan,整張十餘位樂手。Filipe Freitas 在 JazzTrail 寫了評論。

The Kyoto band's sixth album, and their twentieth year. What the label page makes unusually explicit is who plays where: Kenzawa Manabu appears on "現在地", Nishida Shuta plays the guitar on "たたかう人々よ", and Yamauchi Kota plays the guitar on "びゅうびゅう" — one guest, one track, each named against his own song. Trumpet and saxophone are listed in the ensemble but no players are named for them. Tetsushi Yoshioka engineered it, and he engineered their first album too, in 2009. The vinyl is a limited first pressing with an obi. 京都樂團的第六張,也是結成二十週年的作品。錄音師是 吉岡哲志(studio ino),而他正是二〇〇九年幫這個團錄首張專輯的那個人——隔了十七年,第六張又回到同一雙手上。三位客座各掛一首,連彈哪一首都指定好了:鍵澤學 在〈現在地〉,西田修大 彈〈たたかう人々よ〉的吉他,山內弘太 彈〈びゅうびゅう〉的吉他。廠牌頁說編制含小號與薩克斯,但沒有列姓名。黑膠是初回限定、帶帯。

His first record, Hypnagogie, was about the state between sleeping and waking. This one is about time, and specifically about having it and then not having it. That sounds like a press line until you get to the fifth piece, "Ceux qui restent", which he wrote for a friend who died and which he insists is not an elegy: the subject is the suspended hours at a bedside, and the small things the friend left behind. It is dedicated to the people who stay. He has published no studio, no dates, and no producer. 比利時鋼琴家的第二張。第五軌〈Ceux qui restent〉是先行單曲,寫給一位過世的朋友,而他在 RTBF 的訪問裡講清楚了那不是悼歌:他寫的是守在臨終友人床邊那段被懸置的時間,以及那位朋友離開前留下的幾樣小東西——陽光下的一顆蔬菜、一種氣味、一滴雨。曲子獻給留下來繼續走的人。前作《Hypnagogie》寫的是半睡半醒之間那個狀態,這張整體的題目是時間。錄音室、錄音日期與製作人他都沒有公佈。

A short film called A Great Fire came out with the album, tied to the song of that name, and it is built for the whole record rather than cut down into a single's promo. Worth saying because the album itself is the first in a career past twenty years to carry only the band's name. James Hingle gave it three in Kerrang!, Mark Martins covered it at Veil of Sound, and after Waking Season, Dust and Disquiet and On Circles, six years have gone by. No producer or studio has been named. 第六張,出道二十多年來第一次用樂團名當專輯名。隨碟發表了一部叫《A Great Fire》的短片,與同名曲目掛鉤,不是單曲 MV 式的宣傳物而是配合整張的影像作品。James Hingle 在 Kerrang! 給三星,Mark Martins 在 Veil of Sound 也寫了一篇。前作譜系是《Waking Season》、《Dust and Disquiet》、《On Circles》,到這張隔了六年。製作人與錄音室沒有公開。
