Label: Wah Wah Records

1958年ウクライナ出身、フィルムメーカー、作家としても動いたIury LechがスペインHyades Artsに残した1990年激レア盤[Musica Para El Fin De Los Cantos]。多くの名作復刻を手掛けるWah Wah Recordsよりリマスター仕様にてLP復刻!!ブライアン・イーノ、ハロルド・バッドのクラシック・アンビエント、ライヒやグラス、ライリーといった古典的ミニマル、そしてその後のエレクトロニカにも通じる先鋭的な要素がふんだんに詰め込まれています。500部限定。



This is a very serene, almost entracing record that seems to inhabit its very own space, between "classical" ambient music (Eno, Budd), "systems music" (Reich, Glass, Riley, Hassell), japanese kankyo ongaku (Hiroshi Yoshimura, Takashi Kokubo), even hinting at what would become 90's ambient electronica (B12, Nuron, SAWII-era Aphex Twin or the Fax +49-69/40464 label). Actually, Lech would be one of the few artists to perform at the first-ever Sonar Festival (Barcelona) back in 1994 (together with Suso Saiz, Esplendor Geometrico, Mixmaster Morris or Laurent Garnier).

A key early effort from this musician and A/V artist whose career spans well over thirty years and a miriad of works, performances and instalations: Art Futura, Sonar, ISEA, Ars Electrónica (Austria), Festival Videoformes (France), Festival de Nuevas Músicas (Madrid & Sevilla), Ciclo Experimental LEM (Barcelona), Knitting Factory (New York), The Korner (Taipei), Festival Pop Komm (Cologne-Germany), Festival Experimenta (Madrid), Festival DAFT @ Taipei (Taiwan), ART BEIJING, Festival EXIS @ Seúl (South Korea), JMAF (Tokio, Japan) or Artefact:Chernobil 33 (Kiev-Ukraine).

The Wah Wah edition has been mastered from the original tapes, reproduces the original sleeve artwork and and features an insert with photos and info. It is a strictly limited edition of 500 copies only.
