Andrew Weatherall Qualia CD

* Commentary by Kengo Watanabe

Without this man, the UK club scene would not have existed! Andrew Weatherall, a leading figure in the UK music scene and an eternal rude boy, has released a powerful new album that breaks down the boundaries between dance music and rock!

The journey into the depths of music continues. Qualia is a long-awaited new work that incorporates indie rock, electronic music, and dub. The unique worldview that he was able to create because he has always been at the forefront of all scenes is simply overwhelming! In addition, this work was mixed and engineered by his friend Nina Walsh, who also participated in his previous work Convenanza, and also features the late French musician Eric Legrand! It is a very conceptual work based on the images, feelings, and ideas he received from Patrick Modiano's book The Black Notebook and David Keenan's This Is Memorial Device!
