各アーティスト60秒以内（！）という縛り作曲してもらった楽曲51篇を繋いだキュレーション名盤。編集/企画は Mott the Hoople のメンバーとして知られる UK キーボーディスト/作曲家/映像作家 Morgan Fisher。Robert Wyatt、Andy Newman、Fred Frith、Lol Coxhill、Robert Fripp、Andy Partridge、Hector Zazou、Michael Nyman、David Cunningham などなど世代も文脈も越境したメンバーが参加。
1分という短さによるワンイシューな明瞭さが肝。そしてそれを詩の朗読→室内楽断片→ノイズ→歌など並列に並べることによって耳が飽きず、長編のモンタージュ映画のように流れる全51曲。一曲60秒の粒が、80年代の実験精神と大衆文化を対等に並列化するセンスが、いま聴いても新鮮。「時間の制約＝アイデアの解放」を証明した、編集コンセプトアルバムの金字塔。UK盤。
Sleeve: スレ/クスミ
Media: 薄くスレ/静音部に軽微なチリパチノイズ
