10月に新作を発表したばかりの英国の伝説的ﾐﾆﾏﾙ･ｱｳﾞｧﾝ･ｱｰﾃｨｽﾄ､bruce gilbert｡今作はMuteからのｵﾘｼﾞﾅﾙﾘﾘｰｽから25周年ということで､editions megoからﾘﾏｽﾀｰされての再発となります｡舞踏家Michael Clarkに依頼されて制作された今作は､bruce gilbertにとっても初のｿﾛ作品であり､domeとしての活動が終わりに近づいた時期に登場した彼の代表的な作品｡ﾀﾞﾝｽ･ﾊﾟﾌｫｰﾏﾝｽのためのｻｳﾝﾄﾞは､その後ﾌﾞﾗｲｱﾝ･ｲｰﾉにも引き継がれるようなﾎﾟｽﾄ･ﾓﾀﾞﾆｽﾞﾑやﾐﾆﾏﾙ･ｱﾝﾋﾞｴﾝﾄの始まりともいえるでしょう｡当時のｴﾚｸﾄﾛﾆｸｽでどのように制作したか想像出来ない､実験的で革新的なｻｳﾝﾄﾞは､今聴いてもまったく色褪せていません｡
info:
This Way, originally released in 1984 on Mute, was UK guitarist Bruce Gilbert's first solo album, realized in that brief period between Dome winding down operations and Wire reforming for the first time. A stunning study of controlled ambience and subtle minimalism which is still regarded as an all-time favorite at Editions Mego. The bulk of the album is taken up by the mighty "Do You Me? I Did / Swamp" pieces which were commissioned for a piece of the same name by choreographer Michael Clark. A grey tonal poem of amazing, bleak beauty building up to the ecstatic crescendo of the third movement. Elsewhere, short notes on the possibilities of abstract electronic noise are included in the form of "Here Visit" and "U, Mu, U," which still hold their sense of urgency a quarter of a century after being initially recorded. This is also the first time the complete album is available domestically on CD. Previous CD issues were the This Way To The Shivering Man on Mute (with "U, Mu, U" missing), and the Japan-only 3CD box with This Way, Shivering Man and Insiding previously-released by Alfa Recordings. This 25th anniversary reissue is remastered by Russell Haswell and contains a rework by Dave Coppenhall on Angela Conway's original artwork.
