商品の紹介
| Industrial pioneers Cabaret Voltaire created the soundtrack to Babeth Mondini's 1979 film Chance Versus Causality after meeting the director at a concert in which the trio shared a bill with Joy Division and William S. Burroughs. However, instead of providing an advance cut of the film so the band could painstakingly compose music to precisely fit each scene, Mondini simply told them to improvise in a similar manner to their concerts. No further guidelines or instructions were given, and the group had no clue what the film was about (in fact, they never saw it). The album essentially lives up to its title, with looped voices, slashing guitar feedback, and dripping drum machines appearing and disappearing seemingly at random, yet there's still at least some semblance of logical progression. The general mood is sinister and foreboding, but also quite whimsical, particularly in the artists' choice of samples, which are often absurd and humorous. The third track features a loop of a woman stating that a 12-foot-long ant held her positively transfixed, while the final track starts out with a bizarre squawking noise that could either be a baby or an animal. It seems obvious that the group was having fun coming up with weird sounds and chucking them in the mix, and it keeps the album amusing and intriguing. Even compared to other Cabaret Voltaire output from this period, this is nothing like their more punk-influenced Rough Trade releases. It's much more in the vein of what Industrial Records would release as 1974-76 (reissued by Mute in 2019, at the same time as this soundtrack) or the early experiments included on Methodology '74/'78: The Attic Tapes. Not a lost classic by any means, but still highly entertaining. ~ Paul Simpson |

| 初商品化。リマスター作品。1979年、バベット・モンディーニ監督による同名映画のサウンドトラックとして制作された作品。 この作品は即興演奏で構成されており、「リズムを減らし、より多重録音を」という当時の一文が残されている。勢いがあり即興的ながら茶目っ気たっぷりで温もりが感じられるこの作品は、この時期におけるキャバレー・ヴォルテールの刺激溢れる瞬間を切り取ったものであり、ヴォーカル・サンプリング等の技法やサウンド全体を通して『Nag, Nag, Nag』と『Voice of America』のリリースの間を強く結びつけるアルバムとなっている。 |
