AUBE - Huile Sur L'Eau

"Limited to 200 numbered copies. Special beeswax waterproof envelope package. Live photo of Mr. Nakajima is included as a bonus.

Originally released in 1991 as “Oil On Water” under the name Akifumi Nakajima in a limited edition of 33 copies, it was re-edited and re-recorded in 1995 as “Huile Sur L'Eau” under the name Aube. It was re-edited and re-recorded as “Huile Sur L'Eau” and released in a limited edition of 120 copies in a special beeswax waterproof envelope package known as the G.R.O.S.S. GRE Series. 

This time, the '95 GRE series was faithfully reissued, and while the original had a black-and-white copy of the cover photo, this time an actual photo was used, faithfully reproducing Nakajima's original intent. Presumably, the black-and-white copies were used for the jackets in the 1990s, when photo prints were more expensive than they are today. In fact, the '95 edition stored in Nakajima-san's archives used the actual photo, not the black-and-white copy that was released.

Originally released under the name Akifumi Nakamija, it is a true original landscape of Aube's music, expressing the most primitive Aube sound world using only water as a sound material, which is synonymous with Aube."
