Track List
"Comatonse.000" was the project name, EP title, and catalog number of Terre Thaemlitz' 1993 debut 12-inch featuring the NY Loft classic A-side "Raw Through a Straw," and the bass-heavy ambient B-side that captured the attention of producers like Bill Laswell and Mixmaster Morris, "Tranquilizer." This CD compiles all Comatonse.000 related releases to date, including that other Comatonse EP working the "Scorpio" break so important to the early Loft house scene, Social Material's, "Class/Consciousness." This is the first time "Consciousness" has been made available in digital format. The disc also includes a
previously unreleased demo version of "Tranquilizer" as a hidden bonus track. Self-
released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre
herself, the package includes one CD in an archival vinyl pouch with one double-sided
insert card (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeve, and 4x4 panel
poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

「ハウスミュージックは音と言うよりも情況です。」のフレーズで始まる「Midtwon 120 Blues」イントロでの逸話にも登場するDAVID MANCUSOもThe Loftでプレイしたハウス〜アンビエント名盤、テーリ・テムリッツの1993年のデビューEP12インチ、COMATONSE.000。(初回バージョンのスリーヴにCOMATONSE.000と書かれたステッカーが貼られているものの、通常Terre Thaemlitz名義で呼ばれてきましたが、今回のリリースに際してCOMATONSE.000が、EP名で、カタログ番号であると共に、プロジェクト名でもあることが明記されています。) テーリ氏自身CDの音の鳴りに可能性を感じているといい、サウンドシステムでのあの低音の鳴りがどう発揮されるでしょうか。通常音量では予測難しい。ブレイクビーツに鍵盤が炸裂する「Raw through a straw」、リズミックにゆったりとボトムを震わせて浮遊するアンビエント傑作「Tranquilizer」のオリジナル2トラック。翌年Instinct Ambientからのアンビエント・アルバム「Tranqlizer」を挟んで、96年に再リリースする際に追加収録されてたショートの「Pretty mouth (he's got one)」、日本移住後の2004年「Raw Through A Straw / Tranquilizer」Comatonse.000.R2として３度目にリリースした際に加えられた別々のライヴ会場での録音を左右のチャンネルに振り分けた試みの (double live) 、Tranquilizer (Live In The North)。COMATONSE.000の全ての音源と1997年のSocial MaterialのEPを収録していて、数々のコンピにもピックされた名曲「Class」と今回初のCD化となる「consciousness」を収録。そしてラストには未発表のボーナストラックが収録されています。 (サイトウ)
