about

Originally released in 1991 as “Oil On Water” under the name Akifumi Nakajima in a limited edition of 33 copies, it was re-edited and re-recorded in 1995 as “Huile Sur L'Eau” under the name Aube. It was re-edited and re-recorded as “Huile Sur L'Eau” and released in a limited edition of 120 copies in a special beeswax waterproof envelope package known as the G.R.O.S.S. GRE Series.

This time, the '95 GRE series was faithfully reissued, and while the original had a black-and-white copy of the cover photo, this time an actual photo was used, faithfully reproducing Nakajima's original intent. Presumably, the black-and-white copies were used for the jackets in the 1990s, when photo prints were more expensive than they are today. In fact, the '95 edition stored in Nakajima-san's archives used the actual photo, not the black-and-white copy that was released.

Originally released under the name Akifumi Nakamija, it is a true original landscape of Aube's music, expressing the most primitive Aube sound world using only water as a sound material, which is synonymous with Aube.

オリジナルはAkifumi Nakajima名義 ”Oil On Water”という題名で1991年に33部限定で発売された作品で、1995年にAube名義 ”Huile Sur L'Eau”として再編集と再録し、G.R.O.S.S. GREシリーズと言われる蜜蝋防水加工の特殊封筒パッケージで120部限定で発売されました。
今回は95年版 GREシリーズを忠実に再現し、オリジナルでは表紙の写真が白黒コピーでしたが今回は実際の写真を使用し、中嶋さんの当初の意図を忠実に再現しました。(おそらくは90年代当時は写真のプリントが今よりも割高だったので、白黒コピーをジャケットに使用したのだと推測されます。実際に中嶋さんのアーカイブに保管されている95年版は発売された白黒コピーではなく、実際の写真が使われていました。)

もともとAkifumi Nakamija名義での発売されたこともあり、Aubeの代名詞と言える水のみを音素材として最も始原的なAubeの音世界が表現されており、まさにAubeの音楽の原風景と言えるだろう。

中嶋さんのライブ写真特典付。
