80年代のTHU20より今もなお最前線で活躍し続けるオランダ電子音楽のベテランRoel Meelkop、StaalplaatやKapotte Muziekなどヨーロッパのサウンドアートシーンの顔役として知られるFrans de Waard、イタリアFringes Recordingsを主宰するGiuseppe Ielasi、アメリカIntransitive Recordingsを主宰するHoward Stelzer、これら世界のエクスペリメンタルシーンを牽引し続ける4名による国境を越えたコラボレーションアルバム。2005年の初レコーディングからRoel Meelkopを中心に2年越しで磨き上げられた。 また、これに返答するかのよう にボーナストラックにて彼らのサウンドを解体/再構築した port主宰 evalaの超高密度なリミックス楽曲が異彩を放つ。

A transborder collaborating album comprised of four leading figures in the world’s experimental music scene, which includes; Roel Meelkop whose musical activities date back to the 80's when he started THU20, and even now he still stands on the front line of Holland’s electronic music scene; Frans de Waard, known as a representing artist in the European sound art scene thorough his projects such as Staalplaat, Kapotte Musiek; Giuseppe Ielasi who organizes own label Fringes Recordings in Italy; Howard Stelzer who organizes Intransitive Recordings in America. As if answering to their pieces, evala, an organizer of port, carefully added a bonus track by destructing and restructuring them, which came out as an outstanding remix with the ultrahigh-density. The achingly beautiful album floats between improvised and electronic music with a vibrantly disturbing quality.
