A new solo release has arrived from David Chesworth, a key figure in the scene that spanned experimental music and post-punk, who has been active from Australia since the late ’70s. This delightful piece of laid-back electronic pop, marked by the same eclectic electronic sounds that followed his early masterpiece *50 Synthesizer Greats*, marks the passage of time with humor. A must-listen for everyone from minimal synth enthusiasts to those with a penchant for the most unusual electronic music inventions.

Sound designer, composer, and electronic musician David Chesworth—who has been a driving force in Melbourne’s music scene through his work with Essendon Airport, → ↑ →, and Whadya Want?, among others, and whose album *Drive Time* with Bill McDonald was recently rediscovered, bringing renewed attention to their sound following their joint tour of Japan—has released a new album. Combining the endearing drum machine and lo-fi texture of the 1970s electronic organ “Fun Machine” with the modern analog synthesizer known as the Moog Subharmonicon, the result is a joyful blend of polyrhythms and harmonies—far removed from the serious demeanor often associated with contemporary music. The result is a timeless, experimental electronic pop album that incorporates imagery evoking the sound of a stream flowing through Tasmania’s rainforests and geological vibrations deep underground. Chesworth also provides vocals on three tracks. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
