70年代から90年代半までwire、domeのメンバーとしてmuteから多くの作品を発表していた英国の伝説的ミニマル・アヴァン・アーティスト、 bruce gilbertによるソロ作品。1980年代の名作『This Way』や『Shivering Man』を思い起こさせるような、ディープなミニマルドローンは、時代の最先端を走っているオトコが見せる意地と先見の確かさを見せてくれます。今世紀になり、editions megoとbruceとのお互いの信頼のもと、はじめてリリースされたbruceの作品は、貴重な1枚となるでしょう。

Editions Mego proudly releases a new album by the UK's legendary experimental noise musician Bruce Gilbert, whose career stretches back to late-1960s British avant garde art and music scenes, and who has since played an important and influential role with his involvement in various rock-based formations (he is a former member of Wire), and choreographic projects and art installations. Oblivio Agitatum is Gilbert's first album-length release since Ordier (realized in 1996 and released in 2004), essentially making this his first album of the 21st century. A startling and mesmerizing work which recalls some of his mid-1980s works such as This Way and Shivering Man. An ever-shifting set of agitated and obscure tones, creating a sense of confusion while still being highly structured and concentrated. A stunning return.
