Description

[Machine Translation] Chris Spedding, one of Britain's most distinctive guitarists, has reissued his fantastic first album, remastered under his own supervision! He joined Buttered Ornaments led by Pete Brown, who is also known as a lyricist for Cream, and participated in albums by Jack Bruce, Frank Ricotti Quartet, and Nuclear, etc. He came into the limelight as an up-and-coming jazz guitarist following John McLaughlin in 1969. In 1969, he signed a solo contract with Harvest and recorded this album, but it was not released in the UK and was only released in Japan two years later in 1971. It was produced as a jazz album under his own leadership, as he was voted the second most popular jazz guitarist by Melody Maker magazine at the time (John McLaughlin came in first), and it is a free improvisation-oriented jazz-rock album in common with the likes of Nucleus and Soft Machine. It is a jazz-rock album with a focus on free improvisation, a style shared with the likes of Nuclearius and Soft Machine. Backed by Roger Potter (b) of the Buttered Ornaments, John Marshall (ds) of the Soft Machine and the Nuclears, and Paul Rutherford (tb) of the Derek Bailey Band. A bonus track, "Subcontinental Drift," is also included.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

無言歌 / クリス・スペディング

イギリスを代表する個性派ギタリスト、クリス・スペディングの幻のファースト・アルバムが本人の監修によるリマスターでリイシュー! クリームの作詞家としても知られるピート・ブラウン率いるバタード・オーナメンツへの加入、ジャック・ブルース、フランク・リコッティ・カルテット、ニュークリアスなどのアルバムの参加で、ジョン・マクラフリンに続く気鋭のジャズ・ギタリストとして脚光を浴びた彼が1969年にハーヴェストとソロ契約し録音するも、イギリス本国での発売は見送られ二年後の71年に日本でのみ発売された曰くつきのソロ・デビュー・アルバムにしてブリティッシュ・ジャズ・ロック・アルバムの古典的名盤。当時メロディ・メーカー誌の人気投票でジャズ・ギタリストとして第二位(一位はジョン・マクラフリン)となったことから、彼自身がリーダーシップを取ったジャズ・アルバムとして制作された作品で、ニュークリアスやソフト・マシーンなどと共通するフリー・インプロビゼーション主体のジャズ・ロックとなっています。バックにはバタード・オーナメンツのロジャー・ポッター(b)、ソフト・マシーン、ニュークリアスのジョン・マーシャル(ds)、デレク・ベイリー・バンドのポール・ラザフォード(tb)が参加。ボーナス・トラックとして未発表曲「サブ・コンチネンタル・ドリフト」を収録。
