MARTIN REV / STRANGEWORLD (bureau b盤LP)
ご存知NYパンクの異端、SUICIDEからアラン・ヴェガの凶暴なR&R要素を抜くとこうなります…感が際立っている相方のマーティン・レヴが、2000年にSAHKOのサブレーベルでJimi Tenor（ジミ・テナー）が主宰するPUUからリリースした大珍盤が独bureau bより2020年リイシュー!!! チープな打ち込みとキラキラシンセ、風呂場で鼻歌を歌っているような心持ちになるエコー塗れの激ゆる〜〜〜いヴォーカルで、脱力街道まっしぐら！ レヴさんの優しさと丹波哲郎的バレアリック感（？）が交錯する涅槃アイテムっ!? オリジナル盤を当店で思う存分販売できなかったので、復刻祝いで激推しです!!! Martin Rev's fifth solo album - Strangeworld - was released on the cusp of the new millennium. The label responsible was Puu, a Finnish imprint belonging to Tommi Gronlund and Mika Vainio's Sahko Recordings which came to fame in the 1990s on the strength of its uncompromising minimalist sound. Four years earlier, in 1996, Rev had unleashed See Me Ridin, an album which surprised its listeners with keyboard melody sketches and distilled doo-wop compositions. It was also the first solo album to feature Martin Rev on vocals. Strangeworld started where its predecessor left off. Melodic passages dissolved into a thicket of fragments and set pieces, coalescing in a celestial shimmer between rhythm loops and Rev's voice, which assumed the role of an additional instrument rather than a standard singing part. （bureau b） Side A 1.
