実験的でありながらも、ノスタルジックな空気が充墳されたその音世界は、海外からも高い評価を受けている。
+BIO+
“Rekonnekted Polyhedron Electro Music. 4-D Mode1 returns from silence after 23 years”.
4-D Mode1 is a one of the legendary Electro acts from the same era as YMO, Plastics, etc.
in the 80’s Japanese Post-Techno Pop music scene.
Formed in 1982, based in the Kansai region in Japan; founded by Kenji Konishi(Vox, Electronics), Tadahiko Yokogawa(Vox,
Violin, Bass, Electronics), Shinobu Narita(Vox, Guitar, Electronics),and Kazuya Nakagaki(Total direction).
They released their material by “ 7" Free flex disk” spread not only to record shops, but clubs, stationery shops, art galleries,
New Wave boutiques, and many places in Japan. Their first self-produced material, “After Dinner Party” was released in 1983 through their own label, Ph Records.
A total of 7 give-away style discs were released with a pressing of 1000 each, released once every 3 months.
This style of distribution was remarkable thing as breaking glass to a new system in the Japanese music scene.
In 1985 , they kept silent after releasing their last 12" album, “A Style Of Building”,
via Telegraph Records , and each member went back to their own music field.
In 2006 , they released a digitally-remastered re-compilation of all their material, including some CD releases of their side projects ,
entitled “Die Rekonstruktion” via Bridge, along with reuniting for some live shows.
In Feb. 2008 , a brand new full album ”Rekonnekted“ is released, to follow up the album “Die Rekonstruktion”, and contains 13 tracks spread over 50 minutes.
It comes with a folded special designed polygon sleeve case, with artwork by Gaku Amatsu.
The label describes it as ”A sound which, in the 80’s , was called 'mechanical-techno-music'; but the new album is not electronica , techno, ambient,
or industrial music. We call this Polyhedron Electro Music with no other genre".
Feb 21st out in domestic CD shop and world wide distribute by A Different Drum
