The Daily Dig

The darkest, deepest piece of Berlin's legendary Chain Reaction puzzle — trio Hallucinator's debut, on vinyl for the first time. They strip dub techno down to its skeleton, sound receding and spreading through cavernous reverb like a slowly fading image. Dedicated to Stephen Lawrence, a teenager killed in a 1993 racist attack in London, its mourning buried deep in the low-end gaps.

柏林傳奇電子名門 Chain Reaction 最幽暗深邃的一塊拼圖，三人聲響組合 Hallucinator 首張專輯首度黑膠化。他們將 Dub Techno 拆解到只剩骨架，聲音在極限空間殘響中抽離、漫延，像在聆聽一段慢慢褪色的畫面。專輯獻給 1993 年於倫敦因種族仇恨襲擊喪命的少年 Stephen Lawrence，將哀悼深埋於低頻空隙之中。

The one time Grant Green strayed from Blue Note in a two-decade career — his 1965 Verve date His Majesty King Funk.

Green's crisp, warm guitar, Larry Young's rich organ and Harold Vick's blues-and-gospel-tinged sax land right in the sweet spot of hard bop, R&B and soul jazz.

Toru Takemitsu's percussion work Seasons / Toward collects "Seasons" and "Toward," written for the Space Theatre of the Steel Pavilion at Expo '70 in Osaka — a hall of 1,008 speakers embedded throughout the space, itself a giant performing instrument. "Seasons" is notated not in conventional score but through graphic, abstract symbols, the performance shifting with each player's reading — a quasi-improvised contemporary classic.

武満徹的打擊樂作品《Seasons／Toward》，收錄他為 1970 年大阪萬博鋼鐵館「Space Theatre」所作的〈四季〉與〈Toward〉。Space Theatre 由 1008 個音響懸掛、埋設於空間各處，本身即是巨大的演奏裝置。〈四季〉不以傳統樂譜記寫，而以圖形、符號等抽象指示紀錄，演出因演奏者主觀而變化，是一種類即興的當代經典。
