相変わらず多国籍なエッセンスと其のテクスチャーが、スッカスカな冷たい空間の中で嫉妬するほど自由に飛び回る良盤。気心の知れた仲間と「遊ぶ」彼等は、彼等しか知らない音楽の作り方を知っているのだろう。馬鹿の一つ覚えのごとき「アーティスト」が氾濫する我が国で、此の様な音楽家達が一体どれほど居るというのだ。

名曲のA1。懐かしく印象的なリズムボックと甲高いJahの声に太いベースが覆い被さるイントロでK.O.。出来るだけ大きな音で聴く事が礼儀だ。中古業界で異常な高値が付いているのを見てアップした次第。

Thanks to "Conny Plank"は分かるがFactory Records創立者の一人"Tony Wilson"の名が意外であった。クレジットの「Ian Curtisに捧ぐ」に起因するのだろうか。なお本盤はIanが鬼籍に入った翌年のリリースであるが、今ではConnyもTonyも鬼籍に。本盤の三人にはオレよりも長生きして欲しいな。
