If you don’t choose the right moment to listen to this, it’s truly dangerous—you’ll be swept away. Eleh, a leading figure in extreme minimal drone music, has been revealed to be a project by John Brien, the head of 〈Important Records〉. Launched in 1999, their groundbreaking debut album—released in 2006—is now being reissued. Created using analog synthesizers, tube oscillators, and guitar, this masterpiece of meditative drone music evokes a cosmic, macrocosmic world through its overwhelming minimalism, which delves into the very physicality and psychological effects of sound itself. This 20th-anniversary edition features remastering by Tom Eaton. If you haven’t experienced it yet, be sure to take this opportunity. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
