The Daily Dig

Hazy synths and sounds that resurface like a faded videotape, oscillating between the familiar and the uncanny — like the lonely path into the woods in a horror film that you know you shouldn't keep walking. Hi Scores first appeared on Skam Records in 1996 and was Boards of Canada's first widely circulated release; across just six tracks their signature aesthetic is already formed, including classics 'Turquoise Hexagon Sun' and 'Everything You Do Is A Balloon'. Now 30 years old, it finally returns to vinyl via Warp Records in a 12-inch gatefold sleeve with four large art prints.

朦朧的合成器、像褪色錄影帶般反覆浮現的聲響，在熟悉與詭異之間擺盪，很像恐怖片裡通往森林深處的那條冷僻小徑。《Hi Scores》最初於 1996 年由 Skam Records 發行，是 Boards of Canada 第一張廣泛流通的重要作品；短短六首曲目裡，日後標誌性的聲音美學其實已經成形，並收錄〈Turquoise Hexagon Sun〉與〈Everything You Do Is A Balloon〉兩首經典。今年迎來發行 30 週年，睽違多年終於由 Warp Records 重新推出黑膠，12 吋 Gatefold 雙開封套並附上 4 張大尺寸印刷海報。

The Call Me By Your Name soundtrack returns to the shelves on double vinyl this October. The heat and ache of an Italian summer live in this sequencing — Sufjan Stevens's commissioned 'Mystery of Love' and 'Visions of Gideon' sit alongside piano pieces by Ryuichi Sakamoto and John Adams and a scattering of eighties dance tracks, adding up to a full arc of first love and farewell. Limited quantities.

《以你的名字呼喚我》電影原聲帶雙黑膠，十月再度補貨。義大利夏日的燥熱與悵然都收在這張選曲裡，Sufjan Stevens 為電影量身寫下的〈Mystery of Love〉與〈Visions of Gideon〉，和 Ryuichi Sakamoto、John Adams 的鋼琴曲、八〇年代舞曲並置，構成一段關於初戀與告別的完整敘事。數量有限。

STUTS and Taeko Onuki say good morning. This 7-inch pairs Onuki's lyrics with music co-written by the two of them, arranged and produced by STUTS, with an instrumental on the B-side. Satoshi Takeshima and An Suhara handle the string arrangements, joined by flute, trumpet and a full string section, recorded at Onkio Haus and mastered by Nicolas de Porcel. Out November 26.

STUTS 與大貫妙子跟你說歐嗨呦。這張 7 吋單曲由大貫妙子填詞、兩人共同作曲，STUTS 編曲與製作，B 面收錄伴奏版。編制上找來武嶋聡與須原杏負責弦樂編寫，加上長笛、小號與整組弦樂四重奏，錄音在音響ハウス完成，母帶由 Nicolas de Porcel 處理。11/26 發行。

Johto Legends is an hour-long orchestral reworking of Pokémon Gold & Silver, scaling up melodies a whole generation still carries around. Ryan Brinkerhoff's packaging does the heavy lifting: gold-foil outer sleeve, gold-and-silver foiled inners, half-black half-white split vinyl, and a fold-out Johto map spread that is the real centerpiece. Restocked in November — this batch has already sold out.

《城都傳說：寶可夢 金／銀》，長達一小時的管弦樂改編專輯，把金銀版那些留在一代人記憶裡的旋律重新編成交響規模。Ryan Brinkerhoff 設計的包裝相當講究，燙金封套、金銀雙色燙金內封，唱片本身是黑白各半的彩膠，攤開的城都地圖跨頁更是這版本的重點。十一月補貨，本批已完售。
