画家の堀聖史、作曲家の藤井登生、芸術家の桒原幹治、ピアニストの大野志門の4人組グループで、東京藝術大学の大学院に在学中の音楽制作チーム カブトムシが、2019年10月〜2020年9月の期間に、Youtubeにて制作/発信していたアルティメット・フィクション・ラジオ『忘れないで未知子』の750分にも及ぶ音源を再構成・集約させた２枚のスペシャルアルバム。スネークマンショーや初期タモリの影響はあるのか伺いましたが、直接的な影響は無いそうで、海外のエクスペリメンタルやドローンなどに特化したインディペンデント・ラジオが発想の主体とのこと。作中に登場する楽曲を中心に、コールサイン、サウンドステッカーや、フィクションのコマーシャルなどを散りばめ、ひとつのラジオ番組のように構成されており、電子 ...Read more (AYAM)音楽からフォーク、合唱、コメディとこなしてしまう末恐ろしい才能。もっとこういう 何を私は聞いているんだ体験モノ、増えてほしいです。全35トラック。トラックリストからもご試聴ください。 (AYAM)
