90年代半ば以降は主にジム・オルークとデイヴィッド・グラブスでの活動となる伝説的ユニットGastr del Solの26年振りとなる新作アーカイブ音源。1993 年~1998年の音源を集めたものであり、様々なコンピレーション作品へ提供した音源や未発表音源を網羅した決定版。CD版も美しいゲートフォールド・ジャケット仕様。





Gatefold Jacket

Nearly twenty-five years after disbanding, Gastr del Sol have unpacked their archive, stringing together an alternative view to their genre-melting 1993-1998 run. This assembly of previously uncollected studio recordings and beautifully captured unreleased live performances forms a spacious ode to the flux that was their métier; a further set of reinventions that continue to alter the manner in which we hear music, and literally everything else!
