Label: IDEAL Recordings

寡作な音楽家による久々の音盤!!1960年スウェーデン出身、作曲家兼ミュージシャンとして活動し主にライブ・エレクトロニクスの分野で活動、2000年まで自国の重要機関であるFylkingenの会長を務め、2004年にはEMSスタジオのスタジオディレクターに就任した重要人物Mats Lindstrom。かなりのベテランながらソロ名義でのアルバムは本作が2枚目(!!)という超寡作な作家であり、本作はライブ録音を中心に纏めた13年振りとなる新作[Low Fidelity]。ワーグナーのオペラ序曲やら巨大な電子フィードバックのシステム録音など、ひたすらにシリアスな記録だけを網羅。
