Janus Rasmussen spent a decade behind other people's records. This week he finally sings. 第一次有人用古樂器演蘇利文——維多利亞客廳的音色，回來了。

For twenty years after his death Julius Eastman was a rumor: scores lost, recordings scattered, a major American voice filed under "missing." Wild Up has spent the better part of a decade hauling him back into the light, one volume at a time, and this is the fifth. Gay Guerrilla was written for four pianos; here the ensemble opens it out across strings, horns, reeds and keys, and the force of it doesn't soften so much as acquire volume — frenzied repetition, Lutheran hymn fragments queered from the inside, then sudden flares of melody. Eastman, before the 1980 premiere: "without blood, there is no cause." It took forty-six years for an orchestra to take him at his word. Today's one essential listen, with no close second. Julius Eastman 死後被遺忘了二十年。樂譜散佚，連錄音都得靠後人一點一點拼湊——一個本該被記住的美國聲音，長期被歸檔在「下落不明」一欄。Wild Up 花了將近十年，一輯一輯把他撈回陽光底下，這是第五輯。

Rasmussen is the half of Kiasmos that isn't Ólafur Arnalds, and for ten years he has worked mostly out of frame — producing, mixing, writing for other people. Inert is the first time he steps to the front of his own record, and the surprise is his voice, used here more than ever, threaded through electronics built with a watchmaker's patience. The theme, fittingly, is the effort of breaking free from stasis, and you can hear it in the music's forward lean: cool but not cold, restrained but plainly impatient to move. The Faroese precision is intact; what's new is the nerve to let a human grain blur the machine. A dancefloor skeleton wearing the warmth of a man alone in a room. 他是 Kiasmos 的另一半——不是 Ólafur Arnalds 的那一半。過去十年，他大多站在別人專輯的後面：製作、混音、寫歌。

丹麥鋼琴家，八十歲。《Subcurrents》與其說是專輯，不如說是一管巖芯取樣：七段錄音，從 1968 一直到 2025，裡面還有他去年才坐下來彈的兩段獨奏即興。

吉爾伯特與蘇利文，被現代樂池演了一百多年——圓潤、豐滿、專業。這是第一次有人把它放回古樂器上，效果令人一驚：羊腸弦讓聲音變瘦、變直，於是那些被豐滿的現代配器悄悄埋掉的字句，忽然以一種直白的姿態浮了上來。這才是維多利亞的客廳、音樂廳與銅管臺原本認得的音色。
