Called the topic as a solo tour of nine years, it has given rise to a number of name recording “RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR”. And to the latest recording, best of matrix-album that is not floating around in the net has arrived.
Of this work it has been recording “April 24, 2016 Royal Albert Hall (RAH) performance.” Speaking of this tradition venue, also still fresh in memory of five performances in has been carried out highlight of the European leg of last September-October. We introduce as “ROYAL ALBERT HALL 2015 (Amity 334)” it is also in our shop. In fact, RAH concert in “RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR” is all 10 times. In “5 performances of the 2015 autumn”, “1 performances of April 2016”, “4 performances in September 2016”, this work is the audience album of its “1 performance of April 2016”. In addition, this concert is not a normal tour, it was also a special performance for the charity event “TEENAGE CANCER TRUST 2016” to help young cancer patients. This event has been carried out since 2000, once Gilmore also sometimes participated. Comedian and musician has appeared in daily for 6 days from up to 24 days on April 19, this year. JOHN BISHOP, THE VACCINES, SIMPLY RED, BRING ME THE HORIZON, NEW ORDER and sequels, Gilmore became the appearance of the final day.
There is such a special performance, but the contents are “RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR” itself. Set list also three parts of “Part 1 +2 parts + encore” is also the same as the North American leg late until last month. Members also basic is the same, backing vocals In addition to Louise Clare Marshall of regular, is the extent to which even Rushita Jules was the only South American dates are participating.
However, the sound not the same as ever. What until now “RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR” but nothing installment we have been reports from, the majority of them is that carefully selected world authority of Floyd research, was remastered. This time also it was provided by the landlord, but the present work is the landlord’s the special one that has been matrix two of the audience recorded by his own hand. Depth of the maximum of taste is sound. Reverberation of the two recordings I have created a fascinating sound which is not said to combine, also obtained. Of course, this work does not mean blurring sound of reverberation covered. It was the original recording is also less clear sound only is there the reverberation meet the landlord of glasses, such a slight reverberation is stand out like a musical tone even 3D video while caused a three-dimensional feeling by being combined in a composite manner I.
If likened this beauty to light, what diamond of brilliant cut. The same as the glass is flat even at high extremely transparency. The light does not change and even lens as refracted. However, the cut is folding and refraction in a variety becomes complicated, and transformed into a transparent sense of shine to suck the soul of the people. Glossy of the musical tone of this work, three-dimensional appearance of the bell and birds chirping, and great cheer sense of space …… just the “brilliance of sound”. Are you full of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” even deep, deep shine a tone of sax to fade as we are sucked in the ending of. These effects, does not necessarily be obtained by matrix. It does not could cause with each other kill the goodness in too different recording, there is almost no effect is not too similar. Simply “like you”, “it does not look like” well, direction also important to each other in harmony. As brilliant cut is produced at the calculated angle, sound quality, individuality, and the directivity of the two recordings in harmony, impossible to be combined by a solid understanding of the human beings it thing. Precisely because the world authority of Floyd research, saw the potential of the original recording was obtained in the form of the possibility in the exquisite matrix. It is exactly what a rare masterpiece.

Humans feel the depth from the show in the two eyes, feel the space because hear in the two ears. This work, by the multi-layered the excellent audience recording the sense of space, further portrays the multidimensional music world. This sound, that was born precisely because the sound of the traditional venue RAH is no doubt, is what does not taste even if the experience in any position of RAH to reverse. The world of the pictured “RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR” in a different space of shining sound. Please, please enjoy you also plenty.

９年ぶりのソロツアーとして話題を呼び、数々の名録音を生んできた“RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR”。その最新録音にして、ネットにも出回っていない極上のマトリクス・アルバムが到着しました。
本作が録音されたのは「2016年４月24日ロイヤル・アルバート・ホール（RAH）公演」。この伝統会場と言えば、昨年９月・10月のヨーロッパレッグのハイライトでも５公演が行われたのも記憶に新しいところ。当店でも『ROYAL ALBERT HALL 2015（Amity 334）』としてご紹介いたしました。実は、“RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR”でのRAHコンサートは全10回。「2015年秋の５公演」「2016年４月の１公演」「2016年９月の４公演」で、本作は、その「2016年４月の１公演」のオーディエンス・アルバムなのです。また、このコンサートは通常ツアーではなく、若年性癌患者を支援するチャリティーイベント“TEENAGE CANCER TRUST 2016”のための特別パフォーマンスでもありました。このイベントは2000年から行われており、かつてギルモアも参加したことがある。今年は４月19日から24日までの６日間に日替わりでコメディアンやミュージシャンが出演。JOHN BISHOP、THE VACCINES、SIMPLY RED、BRING ME THE HORIZON、NEW ORDERと続き、ギルモアは最終日の出演となりました。
そんな特別パフォーマンスではありますが、内容は“RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR”そのもの。セットリストも「１部＋２部＋アンコール」の３部構成も、先月までの北米レッグ終盤と同一。メンバーも基本は同じで、バック・ヴォーカルがレギュラーのルイーズ・クレア・マーシャルに加え、南米日程だけだったルシータ・ジュールも参加している程度です。
しかし、これまでと同じではないのはサウンド。今まで“RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR”から何作もレポートして参りましたが、それらの大半はフロイド研究の世界的権威が厳選し、リマスターしたもの。今回もその大家から提供されたのですが、本作は大家自らの手によって２つのオーディエンス録音をマトリクスされた特別な１本なのです。その最大の旨みは音の深み。２つの録音の残響が組み合わさり、得も言われぬ艶やかな響きを生み出しているのです。もちろん、本作が残響まみれのボケ・サウンドなわけではありません。元々の録音も大家の眼鏡に適うだけはあって残響の少ないクリア・サウンドでしたが、そんなわずかな残響が複合的に組み合わされることで立体感を醸しつつ楽音も３Ｄ映像のように浮き立っているのです。
この美しさを光に喩えるなら、ブリリアント・カットのダイアモンドでしょうか。極めて透明度が高くても平坦ではガラスと同じ。光が屈折したとしてもレンズと変わりない。しかし、カットが複雑になると屈折は様々に折り重なり、透明感は人の魂を吸い込む輝きへと変貌する。本作の楽音の艶やかさ、ベルや小鳥のさえずりの立体感、そして大歓声の空間感覚……まさに“輝きの音”。「Shine On You Crazy Diamond」のエンディングで吸い込まれていくようにフェイドするサックスの音色ですら深い深い輝きを湛えているのです。こうした効果は、マトリクスすれば必ず得られるというものではありません。あまりに違う録音では良さを殺し合ってしまいかねませんし、似すぎていてはほとんど効果がない。単に“似てる”・“似てない”だけでなく、互いが調和する方向性も大切。ブリリアント・カットが計算された角度で生み出されるように、２つの録音の音質・個性・指向性が調和し、それをしっかりと理解した人間によって組み合わされなければあり得ないもの。フロイド研究の世界的権威だからこそ、オリジナル録音の可能性を見抜き、その可能性を絶妙なマトリクスで形にし得た。まさに希有な大傑作なのです。

人間は２つの目で見るから奥行きを感じられ、２つの耳で聞くから空間を感じられる。本作は、空間感覚に優れたオーディエンス録音を重層的にすることで、さらに多次元な音楽世界を描き出している。このサウンドは、伝統会場RAHの音響だからこそ生まれたことは間違いありませんが、逆にRAHのいかなるポジションで体験しても味わえないものです。輝く音の異空間で描かれる“RATTLE THAT LOCK TOUR”の世界。どうぞ、あなたもたっぷりとご堪能ください。
